  • Lead says "computer games" infobox says "video games", any good reason they're not the same?
  • " 1989[1]" ref not needed in the infobox as it's referenced in the article.
  • Any reason TIMEQUEST is in caps? the article doesn't treat it that way.
  • "based on the novel" eponymous novel?
  • " rising without a similar rise in" avoid repeat, maybe "similar increase in"?
  • " Bob Bates and Mike Verdu.[7] Bates and Verdu" repetitive, perhaps " Bob Bates and Mike Verdu.[7] The duo..." or similar.
  • "r Infocom.[6] a leader" probably should be a comma, not a full stop.
  • "after years of rising costs" it makes it sound like an age, but it was three years.
  • "Activision ultimately closed Infocom" is ultimately adding anything here?
  • No need to link common words like "author".
  • No need to repeat people's first names if there's no ambiguity after the first use.
  • No need to link common words like "novel".
  • Don't use hash (#) to mean "number" per MOS.
  • "Computer Gaming World's " 's shouldn't be in italics. And use {{'s}} to stop the apostrophe crashing into the last "d".
  • LucasArts is overlinked.
  • "publisher Random House,[14][12]" order.
  • " a blessing and a curse" not really encyclopedic in tone, is it a quote?
  • "compact disc" is overlinked.
  • "The Wheel of Time in 1999, a first-person action game" all three overlinked.
  • No need to link New York or France.
  • All the spaced hyphens in the table (e.g. "... World - Adventure...") should be en-dashes.
  • Table needs a caption, row and col scopes for accessibility.
  • Online refs should have at least one of publication date and access date.
  • Avoid SHOUTING in ref titles.
  • "Bytes - Issue" should be an en-dash, not a hyphen, check others.
  • The defunct date (infobox) and defunct category (2004) don't appear in the prose nor referenced.

That's it for a quick first review. On hold for now. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 19:42, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot for the review and suggestions. I incorporated all of them. I also gave a good look over the ref section and the table for formatting. Let me know if I missed anything. I can keep chipping away. Shooterwalker (talk) 02:13, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, I think it's all good. I made a couple of minor tweaks but I'm happy this passes GA. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 09:32, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
