[edit] Deletion

This article appears to be pure advertisement. Anyone think it's salvageable, or want to salvage it? Bryan 02:19 Oct 15, 2002 (UTC)

I'd vote to delete - it doesn't even qualify as an advertorial! Someone's just typed in the game jacket blurb and called it an 'article'. KJ

I disagree. It is linked with Spiderweb Software and their Acernum and the Avernum series. It also enjoys some (albeit moderate) popularity.Reply to David Latapie 16:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

I also disagree. The game is very popular among Indie fringe game enthusiasts and deserves a small mention in Wikipedia. It's no more an "advertisement" than any of the other game pages. - Solberg 04:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Solberg

I'll third that disagreement. As an avid player of the Exile games, I feel they are shining examples of the adventure game genre - no next-gen graphics, no cumbersome interface - just point-and-click, creamy goodness that deserves some recognition. Xeon25 16:13, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I believe he's also won awards for the game in the past, which has it pass notability. Its also been mentioned in PC Gamer. Spiderweb software was part of a write up they did on shareware games that were still kicking a few months ago.--Crossmr 17:46, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I've cleaned it up a bit, made it look nicer, added some screenshots. The descriptions probably need to be rewritten to be a bit less "advertisement" sounding, I'll get to that as soon as I can.--Crossmr 18:22, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
