What do you think should be the main genre? I'm trying to decide on one for the lead, such that we can write "is a X video game". Tempted to go with strategy over the others personally.

When listing off how to protect the vault, it includes "Setting traps" and then mentions "rigging electrified floors, digging bottomless pits". Isn't the latter two considered setting up traps? Comes off as a bit redundant.
"Objects to defend the vault with are purchased with money that the player starts with[3] ($2,000)[1] and steals more of from others' vaults." What does that mean? Are there objects that can steal from other people's vault?
Reading the
Rock,Paper,Shotgun interview, Jason Rohrer stated that the game is set in 1993 while the lead says 1991.
I know some other source said 1991, but I can't remember which. May look through them later, but for now I've just left it as "early 1990s".

I've been thinking about this. Is there any significance to this game being set in the early 90s? Does the reasoning for that have to do with the message the creator was trying to convey?

"Being caught in one's own traps has the same consequence as any other trap in the game, permadeath." Is that a feature in the game too or was that something they also took out? If it is a feature in the game, shouldn't that be in the "Gameplay" section instead?
I'll probably check again to see if there are anymore issues I have but there's are the ones that popped up at me for right now.

The game is listed in Rohrer's version of the public domain on Sourceforge (
link), but I cannot confirm whether these are all game files and whether all art (including the its logo for the Steam store) is included. Either someone needs to confirm with Rohrer or show where the assets are in the Sourceforge package if we're not using them as fair use. czar17:14, 9 December 2016 (UTC)reply

So the game's license is not in question but whether the separate assets in the Steam store are available under the same license. czar17:29, 9 December 2016 (UTC)reply
