OK sorry thanks for letting me know. Sceeegt (talk) 20:26, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

I already let you know about that and other things at User talk:Sceegt, and you can answer here! I hope you followed account recovery procedures at some point. — Smuckola(talk) 19:05, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Japanese retro games

Hi there, thanks for putting all this work into games like Metal Jacket, Cosmic Race, and SteamGear Mash. :) BOZ (talk) 16:16, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

No worries! Sceeegt (talk) 17:11, 6 September 2024 (UTC)

Do you have anything more that you could add to Yū Yū Hakusho (1994 video game)? BOZ (talk) 15:26, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I've done the best I could, unfortunately there just aren't reliable sources out there for this 3DO version, other than the GameFan review, and I could not find any Famitsu scores either. But I've still used that GameFan reference to expand Gameplay and Reception! Sceeegt (talk) 20:32, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Hey, a little bit helps. :) BOZ (talk) 22:48, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Yep! The resources for 3DO is definitely less though unfortunately. Sceeegt (talk) 23:06, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

Speaking of! I've opened a move request on Talk:3DO Interactive Multiplayer. --Sceeegt (talk) 23:06, 11 September 2024 (UTC)

I think there's a lot of cleaning up to do so I've made additional proposals. Would be great to have your views on them too:

• Merge request on Talk:Neo Geo (system)
• Atari cleanup Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games#About Atari

Sceeegt (talk) 01:35, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Do you have anything more for Bass Rush: ECOGEAR PowerWorm Championship? BOZ (talk) 19:23, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Looks like that one does have more coverage![1] BOZ (talk) 19:43, 12 September 2024 (UTC)

Do you see anything more besides those for that game? BOZ (talk) 22:58, 13 September 2024 (UTC)

I'll have a look soon Sceeegt (talk) 15:45, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

OK thanks. :) BOZ (talk) 16:22, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

A very obscure game! Unfortunately I couldn't find detailed Famitsu reviews or at all for the N64 version, nor other sources covering it. Sceeegt (talk) 03:38, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

OK, thanks for doing what you could. :) BOZ (talk) 06:03, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	In recognition of your continued improvement as an editor and your efforts to tackle the articles that need the help. Well done. Onwards and upwards! Panini! • 🥪 14:32, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

I saw your name around Wikiproject Video games and I wanted to recognize your successes so far. You have done some great work with rescuing stub articles and engaging in discussion on the video game talk pages. You have Boz thankful too, and all the homies love Boz.

Mistakes will happen and I hope you don't let that deter you from going deeper and being bold. There's a lot of rules, and it can be easy to misinterpret some messages on here as mean, but once the rules and crowd becomes familiar it's a lot of fun on this website.

If you have any more questions that you're looking for quick insight on you may want to check out the unofficial WP:DISCORD, where a good portion of the video game crowd is active in. For source hunting I also recommend checking out this search engine to make source hunting easier. I assume you're already aware of the source list. Panini! • 🥪 14:40, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Many thanks! Yep it's been great to improve many pages especially the stub older games. The main reason I joined recently is because I noticed a lot of missing VG information. I had a ton of time the past month and used it to make many edits. I've actually been making minor edits every here and then as an IP for a long time. Now I do wish I had done this earlier but better late than never!

I guess being in the field of copywriting has its benefits. Currently I'm trying to solve the Atari issue as there's a lot of confusion regarding the articles and their names. I did my best to advertise suggestions and proposals in the Wikiproject but not enough responses so far.

I personally think one big problem that many Wikipedia articles suffer from are bad intros. With that I mean intros that are unnecessarily overloaded, too much trivial information or content that shouldn't be in an intro, or having as many as six or seven paragraphs. I've done my best to concise many of these intros but I wish there was more attention regarding this issue. (here's one I did recently) Sceeegt (talk) 13:41, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Neo Geo

We're not getting any feedback on the Neo Geo stuff, and I don't think we're going to receive enough support for the change to go through. I don't feel comfortable with the silence on the move. More so, the merge would take a lot of effort, that I'm not in a place to support. I tried demoing what it would look like and don't like the results. There's also the problem that there will be no central Neo Geo list of hardware, which I think is an oversight. I'm going to withdraw, let the thought simmer for a bit, and then maybe in the future you can move Neo Geo to List of Neo Geo hardware, is my recommendation. TarkusAB^talk/contrib 21:36, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

What a shame as I thought this would easily go through considering the state of Neo Geo as it is. The silence is a bit strange too especially as there was a supporter in the redundant proposal. Thanks for assisting though, but I'll definitely come back to it.

I don't actually think a central list of hardware article is needed. Not even the likes the Sony, Xbox or arcade makers like Namco have such articles - all the details are within their company pages and it's sufficient. Especially in the case of Neo Geo where there's not very much to talk about other than the original system, as the other hardware products are not so notable (and two of them are very obscure). Recently, I planned to make changes to SNK by adding a 'Products' or 'Franchises' section for its games which I have not started yet - this may be a possible place to put hardware with it. Sceeegt (talk) 13:50, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

Update: I just created a Products section in SNK and have put brief hardware info there too. Looking at your experiments I think you were trying too much to make it detailed but I think this brief way is simple yet effective - for SNK at least it looks fine. --Sceeegt (talk) 16:59, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

One more thing, I may be "bold" and at the very least move the Neo Geo recreations (like MVS Mini) from Neo Geo to Neo Geo (system), as technically speaking that makes sense. It's also a small transitionary move for a potential future merge/delete should that go ahead. Of course in the process I would also reference it because currently it's in a poor state.
