 * Keep - Both MobyGames and Kultboy list numerous reviews, definitely meets GNG. Kultboy also notes that the game won numerous awards from publications such as ASM and Amiga Joker. Waxworker (talk) 15:34, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Are the listed reviews from reliable sources? QuicoleJR (talk) 17:25, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. For the MobyGames reviews, I see a review from Amiga Format (archive.org link: ) and Joystick (magazine) both of which seem pretty typical video game magazines of the era so would normally count as reliable and independent since they are fairly full reviews. The reviews in Amiga Joker and Play Time. Apparently a write for Amiga Format also had a syndicated column excerpting reviews from there and had a multiparagraph review of it with pull photo in newspapers (this one I could find in newspapers.com): So solid mid-tier notability for an early 1990s Amiga/DOS game.

 * Keep Pretty sky high notability due to the huge amount of magazine reviews about the game, which can be seen in Mobygames. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:02, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. In the future, I would recommend checking Moby Games for old games like this. It's not an RS, and you should try to double check whether the reviews truly exist, but if there are multiple print sources listed, at the very least I would recommend not nominating it for a merge or an AfD. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 15:53, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Withdraw per sources located on MobyGames. QuicoleJR (talk) 17:23, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Notable game but the article needs some improvements, more citations, and expansion. --Mann Mann (talk) 08:16, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
