And sorry for moving the article the wrong way! I didn't think you could move to an article name that already exists (even though it was just a redirect!). Also, if you are based in the US, I hope you understand why the title of the article should be Macadam Bumper - It was the original game as released in most of the world and was on many more platforms than Pinball Wizard.Retro junkie (talk) 21:51, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes, you should always move an article to preserve the edit history, rather than a cut and paste move. If a redirect exists, an admin (like me) can delete the redirect and then move the article. BOZ (talk) 01:01, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Pinball Wizard

For this article, Pinball Wizard was the US title for the ST and PC versions when released in the US in 1988 by Accolade. Obviously, it isn't a very original name so there are other unrelated pinball games with that title including versions for the VIC-20 (Terminal, 1983), Commodore 64 (Saggitarian, 1984) and Amiga (Kingsoft, 1987). The Amiga game is perhaps why Accolade advertised a version for Amiga but never released it. I have changed the links on the 'list of' pages for those machines so they don't link here (C64 still links through Macadam Bumper).Retro junkie (talk) 21:48, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
