Origins of the game

Wasn't Exhumed what 3D Realms' project Ruins turned out to be? I vaguely remember that that was one of the games to be part of their original Build-based games line (which included Blood which was outsourced to Monolith Productions)...

If this is so that would be relevant information to be placed here.Nbettencourt 05:39, 4 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Radio

Need to include details on the radio. I seem to remember this being optional, but a massive task to complete at the time. --DaveWebster 14:01, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Powerslave/Exhumed

The article gives the impression that the game was created in Europe under the title Exhumed and was then released in North America with the title changed to Powerslave. In fact, the game was created in the US as Powerslave and the title was changed to Exhumed when it was released in Europe. I understand that this article was written from a European's point of view, but I think the article should be moved to "Powerslave" with a note that the title was changed to Exhumed in Europe.Druff 21:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. And according to the style of writing, the US title should be used because the developer was based in USA, and released in USA first then later released in Europe as Exhumed. Malamockq 14:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Lighting?

I'm neither a native English speaker nor have I played the game but it seams to me that "lighting cloud" and "lighting bolts" ought to be "lightning cloud" and "lightning bolts", respectively. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.126.57.22 (talk) 11:44, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Multiplayer

Am sure this game has multiplayer support? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andwan0 (talk • contribs) 17:18, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although it was advertised having an TC/IP Direct Connect similar to Quake, it in fact only supported up to 4 players in an IPX mode. There's a separate launcher for Multiplayer in the PC game's files and the PC version also has five or so Multiplayer maps. --Clonehunter1 (talk) 19:29, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

In the Infobox, the "Platform(s)" field includes "PC". I think that the "Platform(s)" field should specify a value or values from the " Supported platforms" section of the Vgclegend template. For example, if PowerSlave only runs on MS-DOS, then PowerSlave's Infobox should specify "DOS" in the "Platform(s)" field. ProResearcher (talk) 14:32, 16 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Statement about Powerslave EX

The article summary states that "On May 24, 2015, Powerslave EX, an unofficial remake[1] has since reappeared on GitHub for the MS-DOS Version.[2]". Unless I misunderstood its meaning and/or missed something, I think that info is wrong. As far as I know, Powerslave EX is compatible with Windows, and based on the PlayStation version. The linked source [2] says nothing about the MS-DOS version at all. I'd edit it myself, but I'm rather unexperienced with Wikipedia right now.
