The Dangers of Using Wikipedia for Video Game History
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
When I put Total Recall stories together, I use a ton of sources. My memory/brain, for one, but also specialised history and collector sites, weird blogs, books, all kinds of places. Wikipedia is, sometimes, one of those places. It’s also not always the most reliable. A great piece this week over on Hardcore Gaming reminds us why that is, focusing on the confusion over the original release date of Atari classic Adventure, which thanks h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ to conflicting reports and iffy use of old interviews has been listed as being anywhere from 1978 to 1980.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Sure, it’s an isolated and relatively minor case, but it serves as a great example of the
perils of researching and writing about history, regardless of the era or the subject matter. Just because you read something and it has a source doesn’t mean it’s objectively true
Don’t let that drag you down into a Matrix-like black hole of OH MY GOD IS ANYTHING TRUE, though. Like I said, it’s an isolated case, and one far more likely to happen to very old games than more recent titles.
u31 game เข้าสู่ระบบ Perhaps even more interesting than the dodgy dates, though, is the political mess behind it, as the post talks about the influence a single man, collector and Wikipedia editor has had on propagating a “fact” that there actually appears to be little evidence to support.
