Amiga color counts

Don't have a verifiable third-party source, but I'm pretty sure that the main lores view in Faery Tale was 32 colors, not 64 colors. There are only 32 palette registers on Amiga OCS and '64' requires half-brite mode, which was uncommon. 24.130.133.67 (talk) 08:08, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The trick

The trick was to first farm the starting area, and eventually becoming almost unkillable once enough health has been built up. Obviously a flaw, but likely rarely discovered, and at the time patches were none existent. This was my first game ever, still one of the best experiences (ambience, replayability value, story ...). prokaryotes (talk) 22:51, 13 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Macintosh port Video

my edit got reverted, but I think it is important because it contains a rare video of the Macintosh port. Because it is difficult to emulate or acquire the right Macintosh hardware.

@156.67.139.215: Your edit was reverted by a bot, most likely because it was the first edit made from the IP address you used and it involved adding an external link to WP:YOUTUBE. There are various edit filters which have been put into place to flag possible problem edits (particularly those made by IPs or otherwise new accounts) which probably is why yours attracted the attention of a bot. The problem with adding links to YouTube is that it is not always the case that the YouTube uploader and the original creator/copyright holder of the uploaded content are one and the same. As explained in WP:ELNEVER and WP:COPYLINK, Wikipedia policy prohibits the adding of link to any content hosted on other websites which is deemed to be or even suspected to be a copyright violation. This does not mean you did anything wrong here, and the link you added may actually be OK; it just means that a bot stepped in and removed the link as a precaution. I'll ask someone at WikiProject Software to take a look at the link and assess whether it's OK to add to the article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:13, 16 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I repurposed this as a reference. Doesn't appear to be a WP:COPYLINK issue. ~Kvng (talk) 16:00, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
