| Jul 18, 2016 at 17:46 | comment | added | Chenmunka♦ | @cat: Am I sure? Reasonably. The discussion at meta.retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/176/… covers "Identify This" questions. Feel free to add to that discussion. This is not the only tag that has but a single question. The singular nature should not, of itself, cause a retag. | |
| Jul 18, 2016 at 16:51 | comment | added | cat | @Chenmunka are you sure we need that tag? still only one question (this one) tagged with it | |
| Jun 28, 2016 at 21:03 | comment | added | CJ Dennis | If you want to comment on the suitability of this question, please post an answer on my meta post, which I made before asking this question. This is not the right place for this discussion. | |
| Jun 28, 2016 at 6:30 | comment | added | tofro | Hmm. I'm pretty sure if RC wants to be of use it should allow identification questions even with rather vague descriptions. After all, this is retrogaming/computing. | |
| Jun 28, 2016 at 5:01 | comment | added | Mark | I feel that "identify-this-game" questions here should be subject to the same criteria as on Gaming.SE: you need to have some artifact from the game, such as a screenshot, a clip of soundtrack, a blurry photo of the back of the box -- some way to let the person answering the question say with certainty "yes, this is it". | |
| Jun 28, 2016 at 2:49 | comment | added | user12 | It looks like such questions are not on-topic even on Gaming.SE. At least, not as presented here (they consider identification questions with "vague descriptions" off-topic.) There doesn't appear to be a site that promotes the notion of identifying "retro" games (again, Gaming.SE specifically says such questions are off-topic.) Then again, it's not just about appropriateness; the notion is to promote good Q&A. And, of course, just because no one else wants such questions doesn't mean they belong here, either. | |

| Jun 27, 2016 at 18:47 | comment | added | CJ Dennis | @jdv I've been searching for this on and off for literally years. I'm sure Wanderer 3D is the right game although I haven't downloaded it yet to verify. What's your simple search that finds it immediately? | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 16:33 | comment | added | user12 | @scruss, because answers based solely on web searches are not good answers. | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 15:52 | comment | added | scruss | @jdv - id it's so easy, why not answer? Wanderer (the one where you traded cats) had 3D in other versions, but I don't remember the CPC one as 3D. 3 Deep Space never had an Amstrad release. | |
| Jun 27, 2016 at 15:00 | comment | added | user12 | I know this is sort of a test question, but a single web search and/or Arqade would have this answered already. It really isn't that obscure... | |
