Wikipedia is notorious in the video game history community for its lack of accuracy and vague primary sources.
- joshuapants 11y agoI think Wikipedia is notorious for that in general, along with constant subtle bias (of whoever won the pissing contest in the discussion page) in just about every article.
- _delirium 11y agoIn this case, Wikipedia's citation leads (via an intermediate hop) to an academic article that dates Adventure to 1975-76, and argues that a date of 1972, which some other sources had previously mentioned, is incorrect: http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/001/2/000009/000009.html http://www.digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/001/2/000009/000009...
