Revision as of 18:43, 16 December 2020
, 16 December 2020Undo revision by Najawin. Mentioning the episode as a episode, not a game (The Adventure Games is the game); putting in italic mentions to The Adventure Games. Also, The Adventure Games is an *episodic* video game. Obviously, it has episodes.
(Undo revision 3056490 by D25m09 (talk) The adventure games do not have episodes, that term has actual meaning. Stop making such adjustments.) Tag: Undo |
