Is this "lost art"?[edit]

As with other made-for-computer art projects of the time, this program can no longer be run on most modern OS systems. Does that mean this is now considered a piece of "lost art"? 68.146.80.110 (talk) 13:51, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. Just because nobody creates cave paintings anymore doesn't mean that the Lascaux drawings are "lost art". Similarly, just because it is uncommon to run outdated OSes, it doesn't render the art created for them "lost art". The outdated OSes are still readily available so the artworks created for them are still easily capable of review.

Wikipedia's article on "lost art" defines the term as:

"original pieces of art that credible sources indicate once existed but that cannot be accounted for in museums or private collections or are known to have been destroyed or neglected through ignorance and lack of connoisseurship." (Italics added)

Alice: An Interactive Museum still exists and and can be accounted for. It has not been destroyed. It is not "lost art". I could see an argument for calling it "rare art" though, or even "inaccessible art" though that stretches the meaning of the word a bit. If you have seen a source that calls the game "lost art" then I suspect the author was just using some poetic license. -Thibbs (talk) 14:38, 18 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Visual Novel removal[edit]

This article states Alice: An Interactive Museum is a visual novel without any references and despite the gameplay being decidedly not like the gameplay of a visual novel. Unless there are objections I will remove it soon. 65.78.148.121 (talk) 18:26, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
