Rewrite

I just (mostly) rewrote the article. The original author assumed that the arcade game and the computer game were related. While a reasonable assumption, they had nothing to do with each other, except sharing a title. Since it covers both versions of the game, I moved it from S.D.I. (computer game) to S.D.I. (video game).

The MobyGames template looks weird if you try to use it for S.D.I.. I don't know why, but I guess that it doesn't like the short URL (it's just /sdi). So instead I copied the look of the template for the MobyGames link. Please don't replace it unless you can get it to operate correctly.

Some screenshots of the Amiga version of this game would be nice, but I guess I could say the same about every video game article out there! Cheers! — Frecklefoot | Talk 19:53, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed it a little more, deleting reference to Amstrad, Spectrum and C64 versions as these computers actually had the Sega arcade game of the same name only. There was also a version for b&w Macs (of which I own a copy), so I have added mention of this as well. Skylarkingnz (talk) 10:35, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Split?

Since this article is about two unrelated games that just happen to share the same title, shouldn't it be split into two separate articles? Poss 20:34, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know. The article about the arcade game would be awefully short. But, if we did go that direction, we'd need to name them: S.D.I. (arcade game) and S.D.I. (computer game) to be precise. Then this article would need to point to both (it'd be a disambiguation page). — Frecklefoot | Talk 21:09, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support, what is wrong with a stub article anyway and what is the point of having two unrelated games sharing the same article. Donnie Park (talk) 15:57, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've been bold and just turned the redirect SDI (video game) into an article for the Sega game, I'm not sure why they're both in here in the first place. Anyway, tis done. Someone another 18:53, 17 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
