Notability

UFO:AI was recently featured in Games for Windows: The Official Magazine (formerly Computer Gaming World), in the "Freeloader" section. I no longer have the magazine to quote details (issue, page, etc). It seems that a nod in one of the oldest and most well-known computer gaming publications gives this game notability. Can someone who has the magazine incorporate the details into this article? —Erik Harris 19:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

While it is certainly worth mentioning in the article, a "nod" in one magazine does not signify WP:Notability. Notability is significant coverage, one small article or mention does not signify or even imply this. JohnnyMrNinja 16:41, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Development Version

In addition to Stable Version Development Version should be added to the box. --Masterius (talk) 13:24, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

well, the problem is, there is no development version released (with some number) - i don't think adding "there's svn" would be acceptable :) --Richlv (talk) 06:43, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Hello. New Wikipedia user here. I made a 5,000-word unbiased review and one of the devs (Mattn) put it up on UFO: AI's main page several months back. Modesty aside, I believe that review still stands as the most unbiased, in-depth, and informative review of UFO: AI to date. I was wondering if I could put up a link to my review on the game's Wikipedia page? The fact that Mattn put it up on the news section several months back means it's a no-nonsense review.

Here's the actual post: "One of our faithful users has written a review of almost 5000 words about the 2.3.1 version. Thanks a lot Ildamos. It's a nice addition to the "Let's Play UFO: Alien Invasion" that H-Hour posted yesterday and is worth a read. 2012-06-09 — mattn"

Version 1.0

When was version 1.0 released? This should be mentioned in the infobox. SharkD Talk 02:45, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, but the Sourceforge repository doesn't say. It only tells the release dates of versions 2.x. The earliest, 2.2, was released in January of 2008. 77.164.107.1 (talk) 15:57, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there ever was a 1.0 release. The earliest release i can find is version 0.10 as packaged in the PLF repo for Mandrake 10.0 back in 2004.

According to the version list at Indiedb the earliest version they have tracked is ufoai_0.12beta which was released on May 30th, 2006, and on Aug 29 2006 version 2.0 rc4 was released. Solbu (talk) 21:33, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
