The Daedalus Encounter

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This is just the plot of a video game, in loving detail. Delete per WP:PLOT. Tony Sidaway 05:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep this article on the notable video game, but delete the excessive plot summary. Jfire (talk) 06:56, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, looks like it was a finalist (didn't win) for an award called the Codies some times in the mid-1990s. Precious little else about it, except the hiring of actress Tia Carrere (later known as the woman from Relic Hunter).  Is this enough for an article? Maybe a redirect to Tia Carrere's article? --Tony Sidaway 07:13, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, it was reviewed by Entertainment Weekly and got 4 stars in Macworld. I've read it was reviewed in the July 1995 issue of PC Gamer magazine and also in the November 1995 issue of GamePro magazine. Help could be enlisted at WP:VG/M. --Pixelface (talk) 08:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, I seem to remember reading about this in some gaming mags when I was a kid. Coverage certainly exists.  Lankiveil (complaints) 12:34, 12 February 2008 (UTC).
 * Keep Full-motion video (FMV) games are sort of the genre that time forgot, as unlike adventure or fighting games they never really picked up much of a cult following among retro games enthusiasts and as a result don't get talked about much anymore. But this was notable in its day as a big-budget example of its genre, including starring Tia Carrere of Wayne's World fame. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  12:48, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah I think I'm convinced. Would somebody like to snow this as a keep? Who was she in Wayne's World? ....Garth, is that you? --Tony Sidaway 15:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable game with notable cast members, award finalist, groundbreaking game for its time. If the plot summary is too long, that's a content issue, not an AFD one. 23skidoo (talk) 15:08, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
