Prelude to Darkness


Non-notable indie video game. No reviews or other coverage of the game by reliable sources. NeoChaosX (he shoots, he scores!) 03:36, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless someone produces a reliable source, in which case we'll see.  Canadian - Bacon  t  c 04:34, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete smells like a hoax as well; couldn't find a valid refernce for the supposed pubisher.  SkierRMH, 09:17, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. Careful! I've found a reference that there's more companies with that name. Don't get them confused. - Mgm|(talk) 11:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: I was the one who made the page and as I noted during the creation, it's possible that this game is not notable enough for inclusion and could be deleted. I wouldn't be too disappointed, though I lean towards keeping the page (if I didn't, why would I bother making it in the first place).  However, I think some of the reasoning to delete it is suspect.  First and most obviously, this is not a hoax.  With all due respect, anyone who does even a 5-second competent search on google or bothers clicking the reference link can go to the official site, where there are screenshots and a download to the game (it's freeware since some time ago, as noted in the introduction) can see that.  In any case, which of the following aren't reliable sources?  There are probably more than this, but this is what a quick search reveals:

 * http://www.garagegames.com/mg/snapshot/view.php?qid=145

It's also available at many major sites (both game and general) for download (fileshack, download.com, gamershell, etc), something it wouldn't be if it was totally unknown:
