"The Next Generation 1996 Lexicon A to Z". Next Generation. No. 15. Imagine Media. March 1996. p. 31.

Hello Wikipedia I would like to greatly apologise for the hassling of the term classic trying to put it in a box and find out a word that isn't precisely defined. My question is this I hope someone can answer for me my fascination struck with a reference to the classic article a magazine called next generation I was wondering what the reference is meant to say. I can't find the reference anywhere online. I’m trying to find it could someone please help me find it or explain what the reference means?

Honestly, even if the citation is correct (and I'm not sure it is) then it isn't a particularly useful citation. The statement it is cited to is a basic definition of the word "classic." A lexicon in a video game magazine is hardly a useful citation for a definition. If you want a better citation, one of the canonical national dictionaries (either the Oxford English Dictionary for British English or Merriam-Webster for American English) are better sources than some random quote from an obscure video game magazine. I would pay such a citation little-to-no mind. For a serious linguistic understanding, it's basically useless. --Jayron 32 15:53, 23 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I found reference online it’s talking about gaming. Here is what is said in the article: In game terms, a classic game is an old game that still has excellent replay value, like Pac-Man. More generically, it is used to describe consoles and software from before the crash of 83-84, like the Atari 2600 and intellivision and games like combat, target fun and ninja golf - whether or not they were actually classic in the fun to play sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.128.106.156 (talk) 05:53, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What musical instrument is played on Single Parents?

The latest episode should be here. The April 10, 2019 episode has that musical instrument at the very beginning. If you watch the show, you hear it a lot.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:06, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think you might need to be more specific. At the very beginning of episode 21, I heard some sort of generic drum beat probably made by a synthesizer or drum machine. I only watched about a minute and a half. Was that enough to have heard it? †dismas†|^(talk) 21:20, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the link so it goes directly to the episode instead of a list of episodes. I was concerned actually watching the video would be a problem. The instrument in question is played immediately and a girl with bunny ears is on screen.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:50, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It sounds very much like a synthesizer, not a physical instrument. 68.115.219.139 (talk) 18:50, 24 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
