Latest revision as of 00:36, 14 August 2006
Two questions:
Does it make sense to seperate follow-ups? E.g. if we take Titus Software and Crazy Cars to seperate it into Crazy Cars 1, Crazy Cars 2, Crazy Cars 3? Should it be Crazy Cars (1-3) or only Crazy Cars?
- Hmm, I am not sure if there is enough content to warrant different articles. --Octoate 20:13, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
- I second that. I believe series of games should be on one page... 89.210.45.22 20:18, 7 August 2006 (CEST)
There is a quite good article about Ocean Software on wikipedia.org. Would it be ok if this article is simply copied and modified a little bit?
- As long as you respect the "GNU Free Documentation License" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Text_of_the_GNU_Free_Documentation_License) there shouldn't be any problem with it. --Octoate 20:13, 7 August 2006 (CEST)

Vortex and Weeske
Why are Vortex and Weeske in this list? They never made a game but 'serious' software AFAIK. -- Ythcal 23:58, 13 August 2006 (CEST)
- There was a software house called Vortex in the mid-1980s which was unrelated to the Vortex you're thinking of. Initially, they released games under their own label, but eventually released games for bigger and better known software houses, such as Gremlin and US Gold. Nich 00:16, 14 August 2006 (CEST)
- Also Weeske released some Adventures under his own Software-Label. I have some from this on tape with original packging here, if i find the time, i will scan them and put them online :) Kangaroo MusiQue of HJT 07:36, 14 August 2006 (CEST)
