Talk:Talisman (cancelled video game)

I always wondered why there was never a video game of talisman made
I love this game, it is about time that someone got the courage to make a video game of it, because even though playing the board game version is good, it would just be nice to be able to hjave something like this that reduces the time needed to set up, and not to mention the physical space needed to play. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alphamone (talk • contribs)


 * I'm a professional video game programmer and have been working on my own version of this for years. Work and family get in the way, however (in a good way), and I've never been able to finish.  I just hope they do it right&mdash;it'd be easy to do it wrong (my version does it right, allowing the user to build custom boards, alter rules and such&mdash;in other words, it is mod-friendly).  FYI, there was an Apple II version made years ago, but, from what I heard, it wasn't very good and didn't do too well.  It is almost unknown. &mdash; Frecklefoot | Talk 18:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Capcom blog
I have no problem linking the Capcom blog about Talisman development, once it has some content. Right now the Talisman entry is empty and the blog top, which was linked to, has nothing specifically to do with Talisman. So, let's leave it off for now, until the Talisman section has at least one entry. Please stop adding it until then. &mdash; Frecklefoot | Talk 12:18, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Candidate for deletion?
As this game is no longer being developed and the Spectrum version is mentioned in the main Talisman article, there really seems to be no reason to keep an article on a non-existent entity. LeilaniLad (talk) 15:35, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Absolutely not. Many cancelled games have game pages. Plus, the game is not quite dead. It's still being pitched for development. Furthermore, having the ZX Spectrum being in the board game article? That's 100% ridiculous. JAF1970 (talk) 17:33, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Solution: Page is now for the ZX Spectrum game. JAF1970 (talk) 17:54, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I see that Nomad Games is now producing a computerized version of Talisman (http://www.nomadgames.co.uk/newspost/talisman/). I'm not really familiar enough with the particulars of editing Wikipedia pages (particularly in making all of the changes to reflect the new status of the game), so I'm not really comfortable updating this page.

Several versions of game
Per the discussion above, since there are several attempts at making a video game version of this game, this article should discuss all of them. Just my $.02... &mdash; Fr&epsilon;ckl&epsilon;fσσt | Talk 18:56, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * There, took a stab at making it address all versions of the video game. Hope it pleases. Jeff of Portland, thanks for pointing out that a new version of the video game is in development! &mdash; Fr&epsilon;ckl&epsilon;fσσt | Talk 20:23, 19 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you for incorporating the information from the new version. &mdash; Jeff of Portland (talk) 21:35, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Talisman: Prologue and Digital Edition now released.
This article needs an overhaul now that there are two current games on multiple platforms. Releases on Steam and via Humble Bundle, plus the fact that both games have been recent Free Apps of the Day on Amazon, would be relevant details, but I don't know how to document those without it counting as primary research.
