• "The first of our projects to hit market was "Bloodwings: Pumpkinhead’s Revenge". An adaptation of the feature film, this game combined a first person, 3D maze with full motion video to create a world unlike anything used previously in games. "Our experience in editing and video post production has allowed us to do things with the film elements that no one else has thought of. You won't just be watching a movie and clicking every few minutes to make a decision. You step into the movie and fight Pumpkinhead if he's attacking the hero." says BAPI President Bruce Austin"

• Don't let these sources gather dust in the talk page. @8.37.179.254: make sure you add them to the article! :)--Coin945 (talk) 00:43, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

You got it! I was unavailable for several days and I may be busy for another day or two, but I put this on my to-do list to get to before the end of the week.  :) 8.37.179.254 (talk) 15:52, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Thanks again, Coin945. The Entertainment Weekly review is already in the article, and some of those sites were blocked for me. I did add something from the CGW review, and I will do something with the German PC Player and PC Games magazines, although it does take a little time to work out a decent translation using Google Translate.  :) 8.37.179.254 (talk) 23:17, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Here's a tip with those non-English sources in Magazine scans in the Waybackmachine:

1. Scroll down and look at the buttons on the right
2. Press 'Full text'
3. You will see the entire scan in text that you can highlight, copy, and mos imporantly, Search through.
4. Translate the entire page into English
5. Search for the phrase you need and read the passage.

Another way is to first find the section you need, then copy/paste the non english text into Google Translate. Sometimes the text comes out a bit weird with broken sentences, so you will need to remove those gaps to ensure the text is being translate sentence by sentence.--Coin945 (talk) 03:55, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
