User talk:Superbeecat/Archives/2010/July

Welcome to the VG project
Marty Goldberg informed me of your activity on video game articles and the Video games project. In light of that, I'd like to extend any help I might be able to provide to you. My area of interest is in retro gaming, especially arcades, which also seems to be an area of interest for you. So if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or continue posting at the project talk page. (Guyinblack25 talk 16:34, 2 July 2010 (UTC))
 * Very much appreciated!! I've recently re-started a page on Baby Pac-Man which was simply a re-direct, with rationale on the talk page. Also, I've been replacing infobox screenshots with low-res flyers per guidelines, and various other tweaks. This is definitely one of the more fun projects on wikipedia, and I can already see that the members are helpful and responsive. Cheers! - super &beta;&epsilon;&epsilon; cat 20:10, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

RE: Baby Pac-Man
Looking at the discussion and article, I believe Retro Hippie has a point. The article doesn't use sources that VG project has reviewed as reliable (see WP:VG/RS). Also, the VG project made notability for video game sequels and spin-offs more stringent. As such, the game has an uphill battle.

However, there may be enough for a short article. A web search turned up some sources: I believe I have some print sources too. But I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to find them. Something else to consider is that a Pac-Man list might be a good place for the this and most of the other arcade sequels. I did something like that with List of Space Invaders video games. Aside from the original game, all the arcade sequels are redirected to this list, which provides as much detail as I could find.
 * Baby Pac-Man at Allgame
 * Baby Pac-Man at International Arcade Museum (formally Killer List of Videogames)
 * Off-Brand Pac-Man at IGN
 * Show Report: Retro Con at VGXPO at IGN (minor mention)
 * Video Game History Month: Pac-Man Fever at GameSpot (didn't check to see if the game is mentioned though)

Hope all this helps. (Guyinblack25 talk 20:38, 4 July 2010 (UTC))
