Talk:Laser Squad

Squad-level
To whoever changed the phrase "unit level wargame" to "squad level wargame", note that in this game, one controls units independently of each other, even members of the same squad. This is different to a squad level wargame such as Advance Wars, or on the tabletop, regular Warhammer 40,000, where the squad is the smallest atomic unit, rather than the individual soldier. Therefore this is a unit level wargame. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monkeyhousetim (talk • contribs) 22:50, 2006-02-23


 * I've heard Squad-Level used several times for this type of game--more times than unit-level. SharkD 05:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Unit upgrades
Can you upgrade units's stats in this game? SharkD 05:09, 25 March 2007 (UTC)


 * No, and neither is there a campaign mode where you can use experience or gathered items. Therefore I think it is incorrect for this to be categorized as a tactical role playing game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Monkeyhousetim (talk • contribs) 18:14, 2007-04-18

MSX porting
It seems nobody knows MSX computer in the US. This is not the first game I've seen in Wikipedia without mentioning its MSX version. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.22.192.234 (talk • contribs) 22:34, 2007-06-23


 * I can't find any evidence of the port. --StuartBrady (Talk) 13:21, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I own the MSX version. And I have seen other people owning it as well, so there was definitely a port released/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.95.192.205 (talk) 18:29, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Public domain
I sent an email to Julian Gollop some time ago, and he confirmed that "I have officially said that my old games are all public domain - Chaos, rebelstar, laser squad - but note that Rebelstar is now trademarked by Namco". Unfortunately, commons:user:tsca didn't quite believe me and deleted a bunch of C64 Laser Squad screenshots from the commons, without bothering to check first. If anyone wants to put this on OTRS, and after confirmation (specifying which games and which versions), make a mention of this in the article, fix the image copyright tags and maybe move them to commons, that would be wonderful. I would do this myself, except I don't really want a third argument with tsca regarding Laser Squad screenshots. :-) --StuartBrady (Talk) 13:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmmm. It would be easier if you could link to a source that backs this up. An e-mail might not be believed. SharkD 20:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Publisher
The article and the infobox are at odds with each other as to the developer and publisher. SharkD 20:01, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * From the top off my head I seem to recall that the developer was Target Games and the publisher Blade Software. I understand that Target Games (under Julian Gollop) has since become Codo Technologies, but is there a Wikipedia guideline that states a historical article has to have the current company name rather than the name that was actually used at the time of release? -- Nreive (talk) 16:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Target Games originally published this themselves before Blade Software took up distribution. Hence there are two versions (and two different boxes) for the game, both of which I own -  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.96.14 (talk) 23:26, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
