NPOV Tag
This article is in need of clean-up. Phrases such as 'effectively swindled' are rather obviously NPOV. Michaelbusch 20:06, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it was the poor financial shape Datasoft was already in that closed the book on AR. Gary Gilbertson

Link to Atarimania
@Pak21: Do you try to wipe out all Atarimania links on Wikipedia? Why? I absolutely see no reason for doing this. Or has it to do with your affilition with World of Spectrum? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.83.86.14 (talk) 08:58, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Your first point is clearly false; I have removed only those links added by you. Links added by other editors were left.
 * 2) Please assume good faith.
 * 3) Another editor has characterised your addition of these links as spam.
 * 4) Having raised this subject at WP:CVG, a third editor has suggested these links should be removed. Please do not re-add them without discussing this; any further additions without obtaining consensus will be treated as vandalism and dealt with appropriately. --Pak21 13:24, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

ARO or something along those lines
Does anyone know if there's any reasonable chance that the Alternate Reality Online idea might eventually be officially revived or revisited? The hardware technology is certainly up to it and there seem to be no shortage of die-hard Alternate Reality fans out there these days. Here's a link to a YouTube video of a mock-up in MineCraft (with mods) of Alternate Reality's city and dungeon... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stv4aTsg7UY  And here's a link to a YouTube video of another AR City mock-up which appears to be an alpha version of a game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfwWkARbvlE

Perhaps some day it will end up as an open source project, if Gary and Phil decide to just give it to the people. I know there has been some talk of that, a long time ago, but I do think it would be nice if they finally got some reasonable compensation for their contribution to the evolution of video games.
