I have no plans to hunt down info for Mega LD games. But there's a handy dandy link if someone else wants to -Black Squirrel 07:55, 16 April 2011 (CDT)

LaserActive? Pioneer LaserActive?

Will be eventually renaming this to Pioneer LaserActive to match our other hardware article titles (Sega Mega Drive vs Mega Drive). It was primarily (and only ever?) manufactured by Pioneer, so its not like a 3DO situation. I think what might have tripped us up was either A) The wikipedia article going by that title, or B) It was marketed as like, A/V hardware first and a game console second (kinda), and in that family of technology, sometimes you wouldn't use the manufacturer name? But that's not always true either.

Another reason for the name might have been because the system is a three-way company thing, with Sega/NEC/Pioneer? But a lot of hardware has those qualities, even hardware with this kind of "insert another company's hardware" system. And as I'm typing this I'm realizing how many of our articles DON'T have manufacturer names in front of them, like Wondermega.

Personally, the only systems that shouldn't have a manufacturer in the title are, again, cases like the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. Where a design was licensed out to more than one manufacturer. At least off the top of my head. Either way, just wanted to share the reasoning behind the move. CartridgeCulture (talk) 01:35, 15 June 2021 (EDT)

This needs to be incorporated into the article. Interesting stuff. CartridgeCulture (talk) 06:59, 15 June 2021 (EDT)
