Image

This article uses Image:Mysteryhouse.gif, but the adventure game article uses Image:Mystery House.png. While I like the one this article uses because it is cleaner, I like the latter one because it looks more like the game would really appear on an Apple II with the fuzzy purple & green lines (an attempt at white). What does everyone else think? I'd like to just use one and have the other one deleted, since they represent the exact same thing. — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:40, May 16, 2005 (UTC)

Mystery House.png should be deleted, that looks hideous. Nomanee 17:51, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed the Adventure game article picture to the more cleaner one. I felt they both look the same, with purple and green lines. Nomanee 17:54, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No sound?

Are you sure the comment about the game not having sound is correct? I played this on my Apple II back in 1983-84 and I recall there being sound effects. Not much, but some... 23skidoo 18:18, 3 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It had the standard Apple II Ctrl+G beeps, for example when not all text would fit within the 4-line window. As this is some sort of system signal sound, does it count as game sound? 84.227.108.46 (talk) 21:56, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Mysteryhouse.jpg

Image:Mysteryhouse.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Kenny McCormick?

Regarding the Legacy section - are you sure someone referenced South Park in 1982, 15 years before it first aired? That element is either very badly written, or should disappear completely. 84.227.108.46 (talk) 21:58, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
