The sources for the article all appear unreliable or are entries in a list or database. I could not find significant coverage of the game in secondary reliable sources. Delete per WP:GNG. Odie5533 (talk) 06:23, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added two book references, both of which say the game made unusual use of double cabinets and hybrid digital/analogue sound sources. It's historic enough, with sufficient secondary, reliable sources, to keep. Altered Walter (talk) 09:41, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Neither source offers significant coverage of the game itself. The other sources in the article are unreliable and must be removed. --Odie5533 (talk) 14:03, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete: I was unable to locate even a single WP:RS providing significant, independent, coverage of this game. Nonetheless, it appears to have been a notable arcade release back in 1977 that represented some sort of video gaming "first" (as attested to by its mention in the Gamer's Edition of the Guinness World Records). It is highly likely that someone with access to paper copies of Play Meter and other trade publications published at the time could find sufficient coverage to satisfy WP:GNG. Unfortunately these sources do not appear to be accessible online. For whatever it's worth, here's some search results that suggest the potential notability of this game which I hope would encourage further research before the article gets deleted. (I realize though that none of these sources is sufficient to satisfy GNG's standard).

Coin Connection (Vol. 1, No. 5, 1977) published a front page article on the game. However, Atari itself is Coin Connection's publisher, so it doesn't provide independent coverage.
The History of Atari: 1971-1977
The game appears to have received a mention in Guinness World Records 2013 Gamer's Edition as the book pops up in my Google Book searches for "Atari" + "Triple Hunt". Unfortunately no preview is available, but perhaps someone else can access this work. --Mike Agricola (talk) 21:08, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
