- Comment I found this game covered in "The Mega Drive/Genesis Encyclopedia Book" with a short writeup. I don't think that is enough by itself but I usually believe these older titles published on major consoles are notable. I would like to see older games preserved on Wikipedia somehow even if that's merging to some other list. Archrogue (talk) 19:11, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
- Note that the game in question is an unlicensed "bootleg" title, which often means far less mainstream attention (at least in US) compared to contemporary games published following the normal procedures. NasssaNser - T 02:02, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
- "I would like to see older games preserved on Wikipedia somehow" - see WP:NOTDIRECTORY and WP:INDISCRIMINATE. Wikipedia is mainly for preserving notable content, and explicitly against preserving all content that ever existed. All books ever published, all movies ever filmed, etc. do not have to be on Wikipedia. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:00, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
- Realizing that it's a bootleg title does change my opinion somewhat. It seems less likely to have any real reviews and less likely to pass WP:GNG. I would support some WP:ATD but I cannot say this should be kept. Archrogue (talk) 01:17, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
- The fact that a title is bootleg reduces notability instead of contributes to it, in my opinion. NasssaNsertalk 06:49, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

- Delete - I'm not seeing the sourcing that helps it meet the WP:GNG. Largely unsourced, and some if the wording suggests the writer was guessing/speculating as it is. ("Appears to be" type wording.) Sergecross73 msg me 15:12, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
