Release date
Why does the infobox say the game was released on 29 November 1972? The article itself only says that they began advertising the game at that point, while no actual release date was provided. Researcher Michael D. Current quotes the WSJ on a December release date. 93.159.251.2 (talk) 10:20, 29 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I originally opted to just use the Michael Current source for this but that might not work out. As I understand it, announcement is point where arcade game manufacturers tell arcade hall owners that they can now buy the game. Unless the WSJ, which I currently do not have access to, says something strikingly different, we should just leave the date as is. Lordtobi (✉) 08:41, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure why the infobox text says "Vertical orientation" when the image of the monitor in the cabinet is horizontal. Could someone explain this, or it will be removed. I can see this edit summary, but the wording is potentially confusing to an average reader.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me)06:17, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks, I had initially interpreted "horizontal" and "vertical" differently (from my time as a television engineer BITD), to mean a reference to the plane of the monitor face: a monitor in a standing console would be vertical whereas a monitor in a table-top console would be horizontal (like walls and floors). I now see the likely correct interpretation in this case is more akin to "portrait" vs. "landscape", which are often-used terms for that meaning (perhaps used more often in that context than "horizontal" and "vertical"). It might be worth updating the infobox template documentation "display" parameter to clarify the meaning of "monitor orientation" and/or perhaps suggest the terms to be used. In any event, I'm satisfied we can close this discussion (since I'm the one who, in an edit summary, suggested to open it). --hulmem (talk) 19:09, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
