Issues found

• The box art could use {{Vgboxart fur}}, but the current rationale is quite strong so I doubt it'll be challenged in the future
• There are a few instances of misordered refs. They should be numerically ordered where possible

• After "would need a scripting language to create the game they had envisioned."
• After "allowed the developer to easily port Maniac Mansion to other platforms."
• After "and provided further coverage later in the year."

Still looking over the prose. Give me ~24 hours.

• I thought that there was a bot for automatically ordering refs. I haven't seen it around in awhile, so maybe it broke down. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 20:40, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

✓ Pass - I didn't find anything else. I don't have any time to do all of the legwork for passing the article at the moment (leaving for home) but I can do it later this evening. Nice work! --Teancum (talk) 21:05, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

• Many thanks! I hope we can take it through FAC without too much trouble. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 22:52, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
