I'm not sure what the notability criteria are for video games, but this doesn't seem to assert any. It's been a stub forever and I can't find any sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 03:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge There should be a list of arcade games if there isn't I think there is some encyclopedic merit to knowing what arcade games existed, even if some of them aren't notable independently. Maybe someone knows of a good article to merge to or wants to create one? ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:05, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect to List of arcade games, which if worked on would include a few fields such as release date and carry virtually the same information. Arcade games fall into two camps: the ones which are significant and thus covered/were ported or designed for home consoles or computers, and those with no sources to speak of. It's a Punch-Out! clone by Sega, which is surely worth noting on the list, but compared to games like R-Type and Street Fighter II which were released on countless formats (even the ZX Spectrum) there's nothing to build an article with.

- Redirect to the aforementioned list. Whilst verifiable ([1]), article does not explain how the game is notable. The only magazine from the early 90s that I recall reviewing arcade games is C&VG. Interested parties may like to contact the VG Wikiproject's "magazines dept." Marasmusine (talk) 16:02, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
