Thanks

Thanks for creating this; it was on my to-do list. 2fort5r (talk) 05:00, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. :) BOZ (talk) 18:48, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And sorry for moving the article the wrong way! I didn't think you could move to an article name that already exists (even though it was just a redirect!). Also, if you are based in the US, I hope you understand why the title of the article should be Macadam Bumper - It was the original game as released in most of the world and was on many more platforms than Pinball Wizard.Retro junkie (talk) 21:51, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you should always move an article to preserve the edit history, rather than a cut and paste move. If a redirect exists, an admin (like me) can delete the redirect and then move the article. BOZ (talk) 01:01, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pinball Wizard

For this article, Pinball Wizard was the US title for the ST and PC versions when released in the US in 1988 by Accolade. Obviously, it isn't a very original name so there are other unrelated pinball games with that title including versions for the VIC-20 (Terminal, 1983), Commodore 64 (Saggitarian, 1984) and Amiga (Kingsoft, 1987). The Amiga game is perhaps why Accolade advertised a version for Amiga but never released it. I have changed the links on the 'list of' pages for those machines so they don't link here (C64 still links through Macadam Bumper).Retro junkie (talk) 21:48, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
