 * Keep Several sites list this as "One of the earliest shareware games". A proper source for that would be good, but at least there are enough mentions of this game to make it notable. --Bensin (talk) 21:51, 6 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete unless proper sources are found (then ping me and I'll reconsider my vote). I failed to find a single source that is reliable and contains SIGCOV. Note that there is a new piece of software named the same which is mentioned by a few academic works . --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:50, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - The game certainly existed, but I am finding no real coverage of it in reliable sources. The few sources that do mention it seem to be user-generated or non-reliable sources.  The only real piece of information in a reliable source was this article from Eurogamer, but it only has a single sentence discussing it.  If anyone can suggest a potential Redirect target, I would probably be fine with that, as well.  Rorshacma (talk) 17:57, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article topic lacks significant coverage from reliable, independent sources. (?) It had no meaningful hits in a video game reliable sources custom Google search, just passing mentions. There are no worthwhile redirect targets. If someone finds more (non-English and offline) sources, please ping me. czar  18:55, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. If this is indeed the first shareware game, this should be mentioned with a source at Shareware. There is far from enough sourcing to justify a separate article. IceWelder  &#91; &#9993; &#93; 00:38, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Unless we can find a reliable source for that claim, I wouldn't even mention it.--Rusf10 (talk) 02:10, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify: No one said it's the first, but rather "One of the earliest shareware games". As for sources, since this game likely had its peak around its release in 1984, there is a good chance that more sources or reviews can be found in print rather than online, and it would be sad to see this article go because of that. I don't think anyone doubts the game's existence or that it was wide spread. --Bensin (talk) 11:02, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
