Package: rocksndiamonds
Version: 3.3.0.1+dfsg1-2
Severity: minor
The description of this package reads, in full --
[ This package provides the game engine for Rocks'n'Diamonds, an arcade game in
the tradition of "Boulder Dash", "Emerald Mine", "Supaplex", "Sokoban", "Legend
Of Zelda", etcetera. Game levels emulating all of these can be downloaded from
ArtSoft.org. ]
rocksndiamonds is *not* in any way "in the tradition of" Legend of Zelda
("LZ"). LZ is a completely different style of game. The "Legend of Zelda" I
and II packages which may be downloaded from the RND author's web site are
simple adventures based on the concepts and setting of the LZ games. The
gameplay mechanics and events of these games are not closely related to the LZ
games; they're just based on them. The current situation is similar to saying,
for instance, that "The Simpsons is ... in the tradition of The Odyssey"
because an episode exists (I'm sure one or more does) glossing over the events
of some parts of The Odyssey.
Simply remove [ "Legend Of Zelda", ] from the description. It is not necessary
to mention it -- just like it is not necessary to mention the thousands of
other random levels which are based on random things, and are not currently
mentioned.
Each of the other games mentioned as "in the tradition of" *are* very strongly
supportable. In each case, RND closely emulates the original game mechanics
*and* offers (for download from the author's site) the actual original level
sets of said game, playable in RND.
