''Rad Racer'' was a racing game made for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It was licensed by Squaresoft in 1987. Since the release of the NES in 1985 to 1987 few racing games existed for the NES. ''Rad Racer'' had a simulated 3D landscape and excellent graphics. The game has a special 3D mode, where 3D glasses (packed in with game) could be worn to give the illusion of 3D. In 1990, ''Rad Racer II'' was released. It differed little from the first version, and players considered the game play inferior so it was not as successful as the first version. The first stage theme of this game has been quite surprisingly enough brought back to life through the web-cartoon Homestar Runner. Stinko Man's (anime version of the popular Strong Bad character) theme song is in fact the first stage theme from this game with "neo-Japanese language" lyrics. ==Game play== The idea of the game is to race around a course, and make it to check points before the fuel (gas) runs out. If you hit another vehicle, road sign or tree at a high speed, the car crashes. Crashes take time and make it more difficult for the player to reach the check point. There are eight different levels of requiring increasing skill. *Stage 1 - Sunset Coastline *Stage 2 - San Francisco Highway *Stage 3 - Grand Canyon *Stage 4 - Ruins of Athens, Greece *Stage 5 - Los Angeles Night Way *Stage 6 - Snow White Line (a course through the Rocky Mountains) *Stage 7 - Seaway in Typhoon (presumably in Japan) *Stage 8 - Last Seaside Running (perhaps New Jersey/New York City) ==The cars== At the car selection screen, you can pick one of two cars: a Ferrari 328 or an Formula 1. The computer-controlled cars are as follows: *Stage 1 - Volkswagen Beetle *Stage 2 - Chevrolet Corvette *Stage 3 - Citroën *Stage 4 - Mercedes-Benz *Stage 5 - Lamborghini *Stage 6 - Lotus Esprit *Stage 7 - Porsche 911 *Stage 8 - Ferrari Testarossa ==Controls== ;Up: Turbo Acceleration ;Down: Change Music ;Left/Right: Steer ;A button: Accelerate ;B button: Brake ;Start: Pause ;Select: 3D glasses mode ==Screenshots and cartridge==

Would anyone, finding my articles, be likely actually trace it back to my user page and realize "Oh, I can use this as a public domain source"? I guess it can't hurt. I wonder, why doesn't Wikipedia just release everything into the PD, instead of GFDL? My main concerns are: *I don't want someone to be able to rip off my work, change it, and then claim it's their property, and *I want it to be free for everyone to use without asking permission. User:Rad Racer 14:06, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC) :Due to the sheer numbers of people who may release into the public domain (or some other Open license), a look at the list + the article history, it is quite possible that someone could figure out if an article can be PD. The problem is that your two points above are essentially mutually exlusive. You either give everyone permission and they can do anything with it (Public Domain), or you release it under an Open license (like GFDL), but then the license is RESTRICTED to ONLY GFDL. There is no way around this, unfortunately, but it is not all bad. Of course in your case, it is unlikely that every article in Wikipedia will ever be PD, so your concerns about ripping off your work are limited. PD does have the flexibility of letting other Open license become compatible with your changes without having to ask your permission. Hope this helps. 18:10, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC) == Scott Miller == Thanks.

I think those who object to adminship requests on the basis of edit summaries are being rather anally retentive. It's all rather silly. I often make large contributions to articles to which I am the sole or major contributor (by a long, long way). Any edit summary I make for these articles is solely for my own benefit - and if I don't see the value of making one, I shan't. So I often make no edit summary. Now, if an editor has a dozen messages on their talk page to make edit summaries because they're annoying other editors of the pages they frequent - then I can see why some may object to an adminship request. But if there are no such comments, then where's the problem?

This one is a bit anemic volume-wise and has a stiff toll, recently increased. However, IMHO, the road would not ever have been built if it had to wait for placement on VDOT's 5 and 10 years plans, due to both the high cost and politics, and will be able to meet its debt. The high cost was due to the high level bridge over the James River. The politics are basically that it hurt the City of Richmond the most, hurt Henrico County to a lesser degree, and benefited Chesterfield County. Those 3 are the dominant factors in Richmond metro affairs. When a new exit is created for the Richmond International Airport, I think the volume will increase. Despite the high tolls, savvy commercial users will go for the time and mileage savings. Not all projects can deliver both, but this one does, even with the high toll.

As the sole author of this article (well, apart from my rewording a few things), I thought I'd get your feedback before I do something drastic with it. I've been looking over a few references, and it seems that "International Chiefs of Police" is actually a nickname, and the official title is "International Association of Chiefs of Police". I made the change on the content of this article, but I also want to move this page to International Association of Chiefs of Police. Do you agree with my proposed move, or do you think the original article name is the correct term? Thanks, User:DeathphoenixUser_talk:Deathphoenix 16:06, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

PD does have the flexibility of letting other Open license become compatible with your changes without having to ask your permission. Hope this helps. 18:10, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC) == Scott Miller == Thanks. I always try to make small articles (esp. biographies) hit the major points of notability lest it be put up for deletion like Graeme Devine was. --User:Mrwojo 20:14, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC) ==My RFA== Hey wanted to let you know i'm up for Adminship if you want to go vote.

Thank you for providing this brilliant article. User:Evil Monkey∴User talk:Evil Monkey 00:24, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC) : Wow, do you ever deserve that barnstar. I've put it up for DYN. Honestly, I think with a bit more history, we should try for Featured Articles. -- user:zanimum == Thanks == Thanks for your support on WP:RFA. – User:ABCDUser talk:ABCD 18:32, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC) ==RfC== Thank you for your comment on my talk page - I think we are close in our outlook here. I think those who object to adminship requests on the basis of edit summaries are being rather anally retentive. It's all rather silly. I often make large contributions to articles to which I am the sole or major contributor (by a long, long way). Any edit summary I make for these articles is solely for my own benefit - and if I don't see the value of making one, I shan't. So I often make no edit summary. Now, if an editor has a dozen messages on their talk page to make edit summaries because they're annoying other editors of the pages they frequent - then I can see why some may object to an adminship request. But if there are no such comments, then where's the problem? User:Jguk 20:44, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC) ==Did you know...== == Thank You! == Hi Rad Racer, I would like to thank you for your vote of support and confidence for my adminship, it has been much appreciated. If you need anything in future that requires my attention, please do not hesitate to contact me. :) - ''Cheers'', User:Mailer diablo 18:34, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC) == Collaboration == I am in Richmond and we have the Pocahontas Parkway to show for the new public-private partnership. This one is a bit anemic volume-wise and has a stiff toll, recently increased. However, IMHO, the road would not ever have been built if it had to wait for placement on VDOT's 5 and 10 years plans, due to both the high cost and politics, and will be able to meet its debt. The high cost was due to the high level bridge over the James River. The politics are basically that it hurt the City of Richmond the most, hurt Henrico County to a lesser degree, and benefited Chesterfield County. Those 3 are the dominant factors in Richmond metro affairs. When a new exit is created for the Richmond International Airport, I think the volume will increase. Despite the high tolls, savvy commercial users will go for the time and mileage savings. Not all projects can deliver both, but this one does, even with the high toll.

(I bet this page title caught the eye of a lot of RC patrollers)) Got me! :-) User:FreplySpang User talk:FreplySpang 21:20, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Maintenance == Hi, I'm not sure what a non-admin could do to clear out copyright problems. Helping vfd would be nice (you could only clear out keep votes). As for reporting the same person on wp:vip, just hit ctrl+f and search for the guy before you edit. Only takes a second, but I hope that clears up a lot of your problem. Oh, and if you're looking, I recommend checking out wikipedia:maintenance--it's always got things to do. Cheers! User:Meelar User talk:Meelar 01:19, Apr 9, 2005 (UTC) : Yes, there are a number of things non-admins can do to help with maintanence tasks. Hm, if there's no page detailing that we could probably use one, but I'm a bit too busy to start one now. Look around WP:CP, WP:PUI and such; if ou can't find useful tasks I'll try to find some for you in a couple days. Thanks for asking. Cheers, -- User:Infrogmation 01:43, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC) == IP Addresses == I'm not sure why you asked on my user talk page about finding out what company uses IP addresses, but typically you can do this either by doing a reverse IP lookup, or by using the whois utility (on most Unix-based machines, including Mac OS X, or there are front-ends to this on the web). -- User:Kaszeta 00:54, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC) ==Scavenger Hunt== Hello. I added an item to the Wikipedia:Scavenger hunt, but the more I think about it, the less I'm sure it belongs. I wanted to bring attention to the full Wikipedia:List of pages in the Wikipedia namespace, but the way I did doesn't give a specific item to "find." Can you think of a way to do this, or should that item just be removed from the list? Thank you.

I think this entry shouldn't be included in the archive, and it looks like that's what you've done, so thanks! I think this topic has already been resolved.--User:Nectarflowed User_talk:Nectarflowed 20:23, 6 May 2005 (UTC) *Replying to: "I am refactoring this section, "Featured picture: rat 'kittens' vs. 'pups" from Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Archive, where it was about to be deleted permanently. Perhaps it could be moved to the image's talk page? I was about to do so, but couldn't figure out which picture you were talking about. Thanks, User:Rad Racer | User talk:Rad Racer 02:32, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC) **Replying to:'''Featured picture: rat 'kittens' vs. 'pups''' ::: Today's 'Cat' featured picture writes that rat babies are called kittens. In the U.S. (west coast) I've only heard rat babies be called 'pups'. Perhaps this is a dialectic discrepancy?--User:Nectarflowed User_talk:Nectarflowed 03:33, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC) :::: I've only heard them called "pups" also, but there is no shortage of Google hits that support the "kitten" name as well. Could they ''both'' be correct? – User:ClockworkSoulUser talk:ClockworkSoul 03:51, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC) == Move International Chiefs of Police? == Hi Rad Racer. As the sole author of this article (well, apart from my rewording a few things), I thought I'd get your feedback before I do something drastic with it. I've been looking over a few references, and it seems that "International Chiefs of Police" is actually a nickname, and the official title is "International Association of Chiefs of Police". I made the change on the content of this article, but I also want to move this page to International Association of Chiefs of Police. Do you agree with my proposed move, or do you think the original article name is the correct term? Thanks, User:DeathphoenixUser_talk:Deathphoenix 16:06, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
