... that the
Windows 95 game Banzai Bug, in which a player controls a bug that must escape from an exterminator's house and is told as a war story, was created as "The Flight-Sim with an Attitude"?

The article meets most of the requirements-- it's been 5x expanded, is long enough, has no copyvio issues, and the hook is cited. I almost flagged this hook as failing
supplementary rule C6 ("If the subject is a work of fiction or a fictional character, the hook must involve the real world in some way."), but I decided that the hook as is involves the real-world by referencing how it was marketed instead of just its plot -- but it was borderline. Great work on this article to both of you, really interesting game!
