Game list
Which of the games on this list were actually designed by Pelling, and which were ports of games that were written by others? They should be separated out. --

But it matters what's of interest to readers. However, what we're lacking is references. As to Elonka's question, are the answers covered in previous published sources... or is it about time to arrange another interview? --

I've removed the information pertaining to Voynich as he is not a notable scholar for this crypto-document. However I'm retaining information relating to his game development career as his coining the term "gamification" gives some weight to the games he made.

In addition to the 1987 A & B Computing interview,
a more recent one exists but it seems to be
WP:SPS. Therefore, it'd be questionable to include it as a reference here. Having said that, if the subject is able to authenticate the contents then perhaps it could be used after all. --

AfD follow-up
Actually reviewing the sources in the AfD, none of the ones that claim he coined "gamification" look reliable. Very sparse reliable sourcing here. czar05:50, 9 December 2016 (UTC)reply
