Balfour[edit]

The article states that Outpost's failure ended Bruce Balfour's career. On his web site, Balfour claims to have worked on many additional games since Outpost, including titles from as recently as 2003-2004. This indicates that either MobyGames is wrong or Balfour is lying; either way it would seem prudent to remove the statement from the entry until conclusive proof is found, no?

Outpost 1 + 2[edit]

This article is reflecting about outpost two and one and some of it is not correct. I will make the changes and such later this week. - asm2750 9:24Pm PST 7/27/05

Revision[edit]

I've tried to revise this entry a bit to get rid of some of the headings. There are too many for an entry this small. Also added details of the critical reaction to the game. It was rather notorious after it came out because the reviews were so wildly inaccurate. --Lendorien 18:10, 14 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Outpost(sierra).jpg[edit]

Image:Outpost(sierra).jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
