Talk:Oids

Untitled
I am just building the first part of the page. Sorry, am I going about this the wrong way? I'm new to this.

Yay!
This was not my first video game, but it was the first of my favorites. I'm glad to see Wikipedia has this article! I think what you have so far is pretty good. Root4(one) 05:56, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Mac version rating
The article says that Oids got a 5 mice rating from Macworld. It was originally linking to an unofficial history page (is the source reliable) and there was a reference to the Macworld online article about the revival that also said the game had a 5 mice rating. (I did this edit)

Then I went to try to locate the review in Macworld (all the issues are on the Internet Archive) and couldn't find it. However I found the 5 Mice review in MacUser: https://archive.org/details/MacUser9106June1991/page/n95/mode/1up

Also the "Mouse rating" was an actual trademark from MacUser / Ziff Davis... that Macworld acquired when they absorbed MacUser in 1997. Source

So I think the rating originated from MacUser, that "The Un-Official Dungeon Master Web Site" may have gotten this wrong, and that the 2002 article in Macworld online either got it wrong too, or assumed/affirmed it was Macworld since the two publication had merged.

And that's the edit I am proposing. hub (talk) 04:58, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Amiga version?
Should this homebrew port be included in the info box? it seems like they never usually are, the "Super Mario Bros" page for instance doesn't have the C64 on its release section.
