Reviewed: This is my second DYK nomination so I believe I have a grace period of a few nominations before required reviews.

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
Interesting:
QPQ: None required.
Overall: The article was new enough when nominated and is easily long enough (~5000 characters). The content is cited to reputable published sources, though most are offline only, so I'm AGF. It keeps a suitably neutral tone toward the topic, not e.g. puffing up the game's importance or qualities. I see no signs of plagiarism from online sources, though I can't check the offline magazine sources. I prefer ALT1, which is short enough and interesting enough and cited to an offline source, so AGF. This is only the nominator's third DYK nom, so no QPQ required. This appears ready to go, a very strong nomination. Good work! Bryan Rutherford (talk) 01:15, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
