• 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)

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)

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)
