Despite this page citing a source that states this game had a MS-DOS release in January 1993, and a Mac release in June 1994 | Despite this page citing a source that states this game had a MS-DOS release in January 1993, and a Mac release in June 1994, however, it seems on [[:File:MIM Poster.jpg|this poster]] that it states that this game saw a MS-DOS release on an unspecified date in 1992, and a Macintosh release in October 1993. Is there any other information further proving one of those releases dates to be the correct one for either? {{User:Starluxe/sig}} 21:42, September 25, 2024 (GMT) | ||
:This is not a poster nor an ad, this is a page scan from a magazine (''VideoGames & Computer Entertainment''); it is from a "Video Game Previews" section, which means that it was written by the magasine's staff, not from the game makers. I think that the ''VG&CE'' editor based their 1992 release guess on the copyright year on the game's [[:File:MiM DOS back cover.jpg|back cover]]. If we suppose that the game was released in January 1993 as suggested by the [https://www.upi.com/Archives/1993/01/06/Consumer-electronics-firms-hope-recession-is-over/6506726296400/ UPI article], it would make sense that the game was conceived in 1992 (whence the copyright date) before releasing in early 1993. {{wp|Mario Is Missing!|Wikipedia}} also cites an article from ''Boston Herald'' published in January 3, 1993: "Computer Games 'Mario is Missing' finds educational niche", but I could not find a copy of it. But it is true that it would be nice to have more precise sources that would pinpoint the exact release date. {{User:Jdtendo/sig}} 03:52, September 26, 2024 (EDT) | :This is not a poster nor an ad, this is a page scan from a magazine (''VideoGames & Computer Entertainment''); it is from a "Video Game Previews" section, which means that it was written by the magasine's staff, not from the game makers.
