This had originally come from everything2, where I had wrote it up over there with a medium level of fanfare. Enjoy!

Two months without a single reply!

Oh, that is very sad.

I see you haven't posted at all for 4 weeks either. Hope you weren't disgruntled by the apathy this entry seems to have recieved.

Come on, people! Say something!


Geggs

Nah. I've just been very busy on E2. There's a lot to upkeep over there.

To be honest with you, as a computer game review, this doesn't really sit well within h2g2. It might fit better within Collective if you posted it there.

That said, there are a few game reviews onsite. Generally of historic computer games that are not longer in circulation, and judging by the published date in your entry, this might fit in with that.

If so, then a little bit of historical perspective may help. What previous games influenced it? What later games did it influence?
Was it a seminal moment in computer game history, or merely a game that was around at the time?

To be honest (again) if it was 'just a game' then this probably isn't important enough to become an Edited entry.

But I hope this does make it through, because, you know, it's never nice to lose an entry.


Geggs

One significant point for this entry would be a change of title to indicate to those ignorant of the subject that it refers to a computer game, rather than a discussion of how far torpedoes can travel.

I have to admit little interest in game reviews. A more specific title would enable me to judge better whether I wish to dip in in the first place. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

(frightening that I could be more interested in torpedo mechanics really <yikes)

Yes, as it is now, I thought you were talking about torpedoes one might drop out of a plane. Even though I am an avid gamer, I was confused.

Could you work that information into the entry, rather than having it as a block at the top?

Tanis? Are you still here?

I'm here, although I don't check H2G2 that often, about once/week. I'll work the info in.

Tanis seems to have left the building - where do we think this and her other PR entries should go?

Following on from what Geggs said further up the thread, I would say this goes back to entry.

Any seconders?

yuppers

Should this have gone then?

I'll add it to my growing list of moves
