I could not find significant coverage of this game in any reliable secondary sources. Delete per WP:GNG. Odie5533 (talk) 23:28, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - I couldn't find any significant sources with thefreelibrary.com, Google News and Books either despite detailed searches but I found this which provides a few details but not enough for this article. Considering the game was released in 1981, I think many significant sources shouldn't be expected. I would suggest redirecting but there doesn't seem to be an appropriate place at the developer's article. SwisterTwister talk 20:22, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or Merge to some appropriate list. This game existed and is referenced (it isn't something someone made up in school one day). Here is an image link: [1] - jc37 23:33, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  I don't doubt its existence, only its notability. Not all things that exist or are true warrant mention on Wikipedia. --Odie5533 (talk) 23:51, 9 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  I also never doubted the game's existence and provided one link (I found others as well) confirming it is existed but nothing to improve the article or establish notability. As for the merge, I mentioned that there wasn't an appropriate place for this game at the Stern article. SwisterTwister talk 00:02, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  Did you look? While List of shoot 'em ups only currently exists as a redirect, List of first-person shooters does exist. - jc37 00:19, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. WP:EXISTS, but not notable. 1292simon (talk) 01:17, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete There's a very good chance that this game wouldn't fail the GNG if its contemporary (year 1981) print sources were dug up. Going off what's available, notability is not yet or easily proved. I also don't see this as a candidate for merge/redirection. czar · ·
