[edit] Box Art in Infobox?
I noticed that a previous user replaced what might have been the box art for Zanac in the Infobox to two screenshots - one for the MSX version and one for the NES version. The rationale behind said change was apparently because the MSX version was released first, and no box art for the MSX (original, not MSX2) version exists. Hence, it seemed appropriate to include a screenshot of the title.
However, I am deciding to go back to the box art for the NES version for several reasons: First, Wikipedia Video Games Project guidelines recommend box art be used for the infobox. Second, the NES version of Zanac, because of the sheer popularity of the NES compared to the MSX (which is little-known outside of Japan), is the most widely-known version of the game, so having said box art would be appropriate. Finally, it is NOT appropriate to have more than one picture displayed in the infobox.

- Nice work removing my additions!!! In fact, I really mean it, I'm not being sarcastic... I really think you stand correct! Regarding the two images in the infobox I do disagree because they look like a single, but this discussion would lead us nowhere since we both agree that the cover box is the best (single) picture to go there! I also liked the extra content you added to the article: Zanac really deserved a better article than the previous versions. I just don't know if we should add the title screen screenshots somewhere or leave them to be deleted due to being orphaned non-free images... What do you think?

- We could possibly fit one of them in there (either NES or MSX), but I don't think it's a good idea to go anywhere beyond that, as the article would start to look a bit cluttered, as with what I think is starting to happen with my edit of The Guardian Legend. Also, thank you for the kind comments. BTW, I just put this up for a peer review to see what else can be improved. MuZemike (talk) 22:08, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Reviews
I referenced from two reviews in the "Reception" section of this article - one from IGN and one from VC Reviews. Both articles pertain to the release of the game on the Virtual Console. Both authors work for their respective companies, and both operate their own blogs.
If anyone can assist in coming up with better reviews for this game, preferably from its initial release back in 1986 or 1987, that would be greatly helpful, even though that will be difficult.
