One of John Romero's apprentice pieces; it's certainly an interesting bit of computer history, but not nearly notable enough for its own article. Suggest redirect to John Romero; I've popped a ref to Romero's own write-up about it into the title list there. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 17:55, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I added the game to wikipedia mainly because games don't usually get bounced around as much as Bongo's Bash did unless they're good enough to warrant that, in which case I figured it's good enough to add to wiki. The game was first created by John Romero for inCider, was then used in an advertisement by Cauzin, then sold to UpTime for publication. Three companies liked the game so much they licensed it so they could sell it. If that's not good enough, then remove the page. Buzzpuzzle (talk) 11:44, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to John Romero. The game seems to only be notable because of who created it, not because of any inherent notability in itself. Of the two sources present in the article, one is Romero's own personal website, and the other does not mention the game at all. Searching for more sources brings up very little, with the only thing of any note at all being an extremely small blurb in a German retro-gaming book. 64.183.45.226 (talk) 17:29, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
