- Unsure if this is a reliable source
- I can positively say that Mag.MO5.com is a reliable source. Guillaume Verdin (who wrote the article currently in use) previously wrote a feature for French magazine Pix'n Love and he is currently a freelance writer at the French gaming website Gamekult (Here is his resume
[1 ]).

- Looking at it, the artists seem to be cited by the credits, which I feel is insufficient. Can you find any sources that confirm they work on the game besides the game's credits?
- I used a review of the game by German magazine MAN!AC (which list the staff in their review at the top
[2 ]) as reference. I did use the game's credit as reference (an example i followed by other editors at Wikipedia) to clarify their exact roles.

- Same deal for Holtom, Howe, Long, McPbail, Baker, Shaw-Morton, and Davis.
- Again, i used the review of magazine MAN!AC magazine as reference, along with the game's credits to clarify their roles.

- The claim that the AI is "more helpful" than in Cybermorph needs stronger citation attached.
- I rearranged the sentence (P.S. If another retrospecitve review ever pops up that mentions what was originally mentioned in the gameplay section, i'll reintroduce it, but i think the sentence will be fine without it for the time being). Roberth Martinez ( talk) 21:29, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- atarijaguar website should just be replaced with the tweet of Rob's citing his participation
- Since there is a book which mentions Rob Bryden's participation in the game, i decided to remove the reference. Keep in mind that the atarijaguar.co.uk was originally hosted by Tom Charnock, a freelance games journalist ( [3 ]). I've seen the work of Charnock previously in Retro Gamer magazine. Roberth Martinez ( talk) 21:34, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Receptions section should be paraphrased more in places, such as the GamePro sentence
- I tried to do better paraphrasing in the reception section. I hope that one sticks the landing... Roberth Martinez ( talk) 21:43, 23 May 2023 (UTC)
- Is Atari Times a reliable source?
- Doing some quick research put my initial thoughts to rest: Turns out that The Atari Times was originally a newsletter started by the reviewer (Gregory D. George) back in 1996 (
4 ]). It seems they transitioned to an online format sometime in the 90s or in the 2000s.
