Delete. I couldn't find any significant coverage, not even in a retro-notorious way. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 07:57, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: This is a hoax, right? It couldn't possibly be real. I see that people are talking about it on forums and it's listed in some minor databases, but there's honestly no way that this game would exist in 1983 without becoming a huge scandal that set back the computer games industry for years. There is apparently a playable version on Internet Archive and emulator sites, but there's no contemporary evidence that I know of. Nobody has original box art, and "Magic Carpet Software" brings up zero hits on Newspapers.com. It's possible that we have been hosting a hoax since 2006. — Toughpigs (talk) 17:53, 5 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
