Talk:Radar Scope

Appeal
"Appeal to Americans?" No one liked the game; it flopped in Japan too, but the American subsidiary ordered far too many arcade machines, causing the need to generate a new game to replace this one. Krupo 01:42, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I heard that Donkey Kong was based on a semi-developed Popeye game rather than Radar Scope, but they lost the license so Nintendo turned it into Donkey Kong.
 * That was Super Mario Bros, not DK. In the future, please format the page correctly when starting a new discussion thread. I'll move it for you. 24.218.147.30 (talk) 01:18, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Huh? No, it was in fact Donkey Kong that was originally going to be a Popeye game. If I recall, King Features didn't want to give the Popeye license to Nintendo back then because Nintendo was a small company. After Nintendo had success with Donkey Kong, they did in fact get the license to make a Popeye game. (The Radar Scope thing is an entirely different matter; that was just a question of the hardware the game was going to be developed with. The original Popeye game would probably have been based on Radar Scope hardware too.) - furrykef (Talk at me) 20:26, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Name
Is it Radarscope or Radar Scope? The sources I used for Donkey Kong (arcade game) all use Radarscope. — Amcaja 16:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Look at the klov page for Radar Scope, as you can see the marquees and title screens for the game all utilize whitespace between the words. --Larsinio 16:49, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I can see why there might be confusion (the cabinet art could be read either way), but I do believe the title screen settles things. Thanks. — Amcaja 03:38, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Official artwork and documentation says Radar Scope, therefore, it is Radar Scope. 24.218.147.30 (talk) 01:19, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
