Rareware-stub
This article has been tagged as a stub, but it seems fairly complete to me. What is it missing in order to make it a non-stub article? --Oscarthecat 21:19, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I saw it was already tagged as a stub, so I decided to add the new Rareware stub I made. SNS 21:24, 23 August 2006 (UTC)


 * How about a chapter about impact? --Frodet 17:36, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Port
Why some people dislike information about Atari XL/XE port and delete it...? Its directly port rewritten from ZX Spectrum version with some enhanced graphics... It is not official Atari ST version!!! Atari ST is a 16-bit machines, Atari XL/XE is 8-bit machines and on 8-bit Atari it isn't earlier version of this game!!!--Sikor soft (talk) 09:36, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I have googled a bit and found no reference to the notability of this port. --Frodet (talk) 16:29, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

So, you dont search good. You can find info in many places, like: www.atari.online.pl, RGCD#4 magazine and few more.--Sikor soft (talk) 07:40, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * This is the english Wikipedia - you have not supplied any english references. And please try not to disrupt relevant edits.  --Frodet (talk) 09:06, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

1st: wikipedia is free encyclopedy, so - if you can find any english references don't knowing, that it is no egzist. 2nd: Google your friend, but maybe it is to hard for You. So, I put especially for You google link: http://www.google.pl/search?hl=pl&q=jetboy+atari&btnG=Szukaj+w+Google&lr= - here is few english page too. For example: www.atariage.com, rgcd#4 magazine, atari 8 bit forever. But sorry - you can find nothing with simple google search - is too hard for You...--Sikor soft (talk) 19:02, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * An advice: It doesn't help being patronizing. It's not an issue wheterher something exists or not - Wikipedia is not an encyclopedia of all and everything, see WP:NOTE.  None of the Google links establish notability in my view.  It might very well be notable, but you have yet to produce a single reference which establish notability - this is YOUR responisbility as contributor.  --Frodet (talk) 19:26, 23 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry but a) Its an unlicensed port of a commercially released game. This is a blatant violation of  article guidelines here.  b) Its just not notable enough to carry its own article.  There are clear guidelines for that as well at WP:N as well. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 20:11, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

To do

 * lede needs description of gameplay
 * Added JAG  UAR   10:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * what is the Jetman series?
 * I suppose it meets the criteria of a "series", but it doesn't have its own article. Similar to Jumping Flash!, it has its own series but no article on the matter, even though they both consist of four games. JAG  UAR   10:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * It's fine to have this be the series article, but just should elaborate that the game spawned a few sequels that were similar/different/etc. – czar   16:51, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Got it - added this in the lead. JAG  UAR   21:35, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * what does it mean that Jetpac was included in other games?
 * Jetpac is included in at least two other Rare games, does this sound unclear? JAG  UAR   10:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * unlink the Stamper bros—they redirect to Rare
 * Done JAG  UAR   10:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * reviewer opinions aren't summarized in the lede
 * Added a bit JAG  UAR   10:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * I don't think we're adding Rare Replay releases in the infoboxes unless we're sure they weren't emulated? Template:Infobox video game
 * True, not added by me. I'll remember to remove them in other articles I come across JAG  UAR   10:39, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * gameplay should be written to minimize jargon (explain wraparound, etc.)
 * I cut some jargon regarding the forms of aliens and how to combat them. Wraparound is already linked, but I might explain how it works in the prose JAG  UAR   10:46, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * some clarification on sentences like "Beating a high score of Jetpac is necessary to beat the game." how?
 * It did explain how gaining 15 banana medals were required to beat Donkey Kong 64, and beating a high score of Jetpac gave the player a banana medal or something like that, but it was too jargon-y and irrelevant to the article so I cut it. I'll rephrase it JAG  UAR   10:46, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Clarified it now. JAG  UAR   13:29, 4 August 2015 (UTC)

– czar   22:38, 3 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, . I've addressed all of the concerns, with the exception of the game's inclusion in Donkey Kong 64 and Rare Replay, which I'm not sure if anything is wrong with that statement? JAG  UAR   13:29, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Game is in compilation → readers get that it's a package of some kind. Game is in game → how? (game is hidden/unlockable/a minigame, etc.) – czar   16:40, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I've elaborated this in the lead - it's unlockable in DK64 and part of the compilation in Rare Replay. Although looking at it, I think it makes the lead too long and am tempted to move it in the body. JAG  UAR   21:35, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
