Talk:Nasir Gebelli

Untitled
Sirius Software went under in 1984, not 1981. So Gebelli Software was started prior to that -- in fact during the peak of Sirius (probably Nasir simply thought that having his own software house would let him have more of the profit from his work). I changed the text to read accordingly. -- Jonathan Badger August 2, 2006
 * Thanks for that information! I actually don't know a whole lot about Gebelli's background - he is pretty reclusive. :) --Tristam 16:11, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Iranian-American
A very rude person reverted my edit without discussion. FYI according to one of the sources used in this article,, "Currently, Nasir lives in Sacramento, California, where he has lived most of his life." Obviously this man is an Iranian-American as he has lived in the United States since coming here for university! Even if he is not a citizen of US, he is at the very least permanent resident since student and work visas do not last over 30 years! Either way, whether citizen or permanent resident, he is Iranian-American, got it? Hopefully this case is one of a foreign person's misunderstanding of US definitions and residency.

Additionally the article needs more sources to fall in with WP:RS since our French friend User:Kariteh feels they are so important. Khorshid 10:09, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Did Nasir really meet with Shigeru Miyamoto before joining Square?
The article says:
 * Nasir met with Shigeru Miyamoto at Nintendo and several people at Square. Nintendo was apparently uninterested; the programmers at Square, especially Hironobu Sakaguchi (a long-time fan of Gebelli's work), however, were aware of Nasir's reputation and were excited to have him join.

It's come to my attention that this could actually be a misunderstanding. At the time, Square was run by a guy named Masafumi Miyamoto, so it's possible that a miscommunication turned a story about Nasir meeting Masafumi Miyamoto into a story about meeting Shigeru Miyamoto. The article gives MobyGames as a source for the statement, but it isn't a primary source, so it could be hearsay. Is there a reliable source anywhere saying that Nasir met with Shigeru? - furrykef (Talk at me) 21:52, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

Russki Duck
According to the title screen shot at https://www.mobygames.com/game/apple2/russki-duck, Russki Duck was published by Gebelli Software, but written by Eric Knopp and Alan Merrell. They had previously written the mechanically-similar Copts and Robbers, which was published by Sirius Software a year earlier.

Unless Nasir had a significant hand in developing Russki Duck, it probably shouldn't be listed among the games he wrote. Fadden0 (talk) 05:31, 1 November 2019 (UTC)


 * I removed Russki Duck as Nasir is indeed not listed in the credits. ShadyCrack (talk) 22:05, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

"First RPG minigame"
I'm not sure what the first RPG minigame is, but I don't think it was in Final Fantasy (1987), given that there are minigames in Questron (1984). Additionally, the citation for that sentence is a broken link. 222.152.197.94 (talk) 04:43, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
