*[[Xona Games]] - Xona Games and their games ([[Decimation X]], [[Decimation X3]], and [[Score Rush]]) should be noted, they are one of the top Xbox LIVE Indie Game developers in Japan, with all three of their releases being in the top five spots (out of over 1,400 games) in Japan: http://xona.com/2010/12/12b.html. Perhaps [[Decimation X]] can highlight the series.

  • Legal Crime - This game was developed by Byte Enchanters and was an early top down mafia style real-time strategy game played over the internet using modems. Some basic info can be found here
    • Apparently, there was some controversy about this game. According to one source, one of the game's admin operators banned the other operators from the game and shut down most of the servers. A quite detailed site can be found here: here This should make for some interesting research for someone, especially if one of the game's creators could be contacted by email.
  • Gubble II - It's the sequel to Gubble [15]
  • Helldorado - A 3D wild west action PC game (see website). It is also the third installment in the Desperados series and the sequel to Desperados 2: Cooper's Revenge. The game can be found on various game review sites but apart from that the game is not really documented at all (a quick search on Google will prove this).

  • GROW (series) - An extremely popular series of flash games made by a Japanese guy. They are on his website eyezmaze.com and there was an article on one of the games, GROW CUBE in a magazine. They have won awards as well.
  • That would be eyezmaze.com, courtesy of On, I'm surprised there's not an article on this already. I think an article on the website itself, rather than just the Grow series, would be better - On's been releasing games outside of the series such as Dwarf Complete. There's sources on RPS and scads on Jay is Games, who've been enthusiastic followers for some time. Someoneanother 21:59, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Could this information be incorporated into Ballblazer, as from looking at the entry cited on Moby Games it is a remake/follow-up to that game. AirRaidPatrol 84 (talk) 12:54, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Although a little it of research shows that there are enough external references for it to merit an article of it's own. I will go ahead and create it as a user page before moving it. AirRaidPatrol 84 (talk) 13:00, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • DJ Max Mobile - A cell phone version of the DJ Max series. Normally plays like normal DJ Max games, but if the player plays it on a cell with a touch screen, they can play it like DJ Max Technika. Unfortunately, the game suffers from degraded sound (all the songs sound like older video game music, and no lyrics), and the M/Vs are gone, replaced by a single still from the song or the still from the song preview.[38]
  • Gundemonium Collection - A collection of three PC Indie manic shooters from Platine Dispositif which got an English release over Play Station Network from publisher Rockin' Android. [39]
  • Making History II: The War of the World - A PC World War II asynchrenous turn-based strategy game released by Muzzy Lane Software. Free demo available for download. [40]

  • Super Bombliss - Tetris-like game never released in the US as far as I can tell; finding sources seems to be difficult, at least in English.
  • FATAL/FAKE - A Doujin 3D fighting game made by Light's for Microsoft Windows and its sequel CRUCIS FATAL+FAKE. Both games feature characters from the Fate/stay night and Fate/hollow ataraxia series made by Type-Moon. [43]

  • Pelican Accessories - I don't know if this is the right section for this request, but I'd like to request the reinstatement of the Pelican Accessories article. On Aug. 25th 2010 it was deleted by Jclemens for "Not a notable company" and "article does not attribute reliable secondary sources". I never got to read the original article, so I can't speak to the reliability of the secondary sources, but you can find Pelican Video Game Accessories in most vintage video game collections in the US, all over ebay(Wiki won't let me provide a link but you get the idea) and amazon[49], not to mention their contribution to the landfills of America. Pelican distributed all sorts of 3rd party accessories under their label, and developed some of their own.(They even developed their own gaming system.) Pelican was a very notable contributor to the video game industry throughout the 90's, and I for one would like to know what happened to them, and maybe see a list of their cool products. (I think they may have been bought out by Performance Designed Products[50])

I doubt I'm entering this request correctly, but I tried to follow the directions and I got some message saying "Cannot find section" and "This page is frequently backlogged." So editing the most recent entry was the only way I could figure how to make this submission. When I looked at Jclemens user page, I saw that he had some sort of award for all his participation on the wiki project. I also noticed that he deleted over eighteen thousand pages! Isn't that a bit excessive? I would hate to think that wiki members are going around deleting all these articles in an effort to have a better user rating... and for what? so they can have more power to delete even more articles. (or this complaint) I understand the necessity to remove disinformation, it's probably more damaging than no information, but whole sale deletion because you can't find verification online is just wrong. For some things, wikipedia is the only online source, and with out it, the information could become lost in obscurity. (for example in the video game world "The Max Media Dock", which was also deleted.)

Wikipedia is a great idea, but I still think it has some bugs that need to be worked out... Thank you for taking the time to read my rant, and please help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.166.105.15 (talk • contribs)

  • Alice is Dead - this is a computer game trilogy. It has a complex story and should be on this wiki because of how many questions were asked on the Q&A bored they put up on the site. I've put the links to Alice is Dead, Alice is dead 2, and Alice is dead 3. Click them in order if you want to play them in order. If you don't want to play them, you can learn all about the game in the Q&A bored. To get there just click here.
  • Frontier of Defense - This article should be in wiki but it was deleted because the wikipedians thought that i was promoting the game , i can't provide secondary resources and references, and some thought i made the game but nope!
