The article readable prose size (6903 B) is long enough. The article is new enough. The hook is not interesting and does not express complete information about the game. I think that it is better to add adverb of time in the hook. But hook's character count is within the legal limits. The hook is cited immediately at the end of the sentence. Main problem is language of sources because most of references are in Polish and Germany. Therefore, the sources must be investigate by a native user and then be confirmed. Please, use this source in the article.Saff V. (talk) 12:35, 23 December 2015 (UTC)
- Thank you. I added the linked source, but I don't think there's a lot of usable info, except for additional reinforcement of the release year and companies. In fact, the source contains some erroneous info (referring to the game as a "side-scrolling platformer" when it's a flip-screen game; or claiming that it was the first Polish game released abroad, even though e.g. the Atari game Fred by LK Avalon saw a foreign release in 1991.) I though the hook was at least a bit interesting because while CD soundtracks are fairly frequent today, I believe a physical soundtrack was unusual back in 1992.

- Dear BlueMoonset, the sources must be investigate by a native user because the language of sources are Polish and Germany. I think that is better a native user evaluate the sources and then confirmed the DYK.Saff V. (talk) 07:45, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
New reviewer needed who can deal with Polish and German sources. BlueMoonset (talk) 07:50, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
- @BlueMoonset: The refs seem solid; they are all reliable (if old) Polish video gaming magazines I do recall from my youth days. I did read [1] and it confirms the hook, so I'd AGF the rest of that, it seems like a solid work. If there is any dubious claim you want me to review ping me and I'll see what I can do. PS. I don't speak German. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:56, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, Piotrus. Saff V., is this sufficient to satisfy your concerns about the hook and article? If not, and you have a particular question about a claim, you can ask Piotrus for help. Or, if you'd rather, we can continue our search for a new reviewer to finish up. Please let us know. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:36, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
Dear BlueMoonset, now the DYK is complete and there are not any questions. The ALT1 is approved by me.Saff V. (talk) 06:09, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
