Star Fox for the 2600
The official name of this game is Star Quest (I knew this before hand).
Could we have it changed to this? (or are we keeping with whatever is on the cartridge?)

Re: Star Fox for the 2600

P.S., you're wiki link is broken for me.

Re: Star Fox for the 2600
The questionable sources are in reference the trademark infringement.

There is no in game title screen and the box says Star Fox.

Re: Star Fox for the 2600
I know the box says Star Fox.

I finnally found where I read this, I'll just copy and paste it.

Q: If this is the first Star Fox game, could Nintendo get sued for using the
name?
A: I can all but guarantee you that Nintendo will not be sued. Mythicon, Inc
went out of business 10 years ago, so all the living employees have gone onto
other things. Additionally, when Mythicon, Inc copyrighted their game, they
copyrighted it under the name of Star Quest. The copyright was filed before
the game was actually released. It looks like when the game was released,
Mythicon. Inc decided to rename the game Star Fox but did not make any changes
to the copyright filed. So according to US Copyright records, this game is
called Star Quest. Nintendo now has a patent on the name Star Fox so no future
games can use the name.

Re: Star Fox for the 2600
No, I'm not actually sure, but now that I reread the Wiki article, it says that the name was never officiallised(is that even a word?) but you know what, at this point I'm pretty much don't care anymore. It could stay whatever name it is, it's an awful game anyways.
