QPQ: - pending
Overall: Hey, a DYK nom I can review without feeling prejudiced! Everything checks out, except one tiny bit: It was one of the last, if not the last, Silver Range game – this does sound unclear and somewhat more journalistic than encyclopaedic, especially with the emphasis in italics. Could the middle clause simply be dropped, or can you verify it actually was the last? We should just have one of those. QPQ still needed. Apart from that, a solid article. Strong preference for ALT0 as more interesting, imo. –LordPickleII (talk) 19:15, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
