From what I gathered the game is a shoot 'em up that was originally released on a website as a download and then included later on some Mac magazine cover discs. Doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG. Sources in the article are: 1) Next Generation magazine review which is a reliable source and can be considered significant coverage. 2) Incredibly Strange Games blog has a review but is an unreliable source. Also I was able to find this Macworld article: [1], but it is only a passing mention of the game. MobyGames and UVL don't list any reviews. Mika1h (talk) 16:00, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete From the looks of it, it's not notable. Paging @BOZ:, they are an experienced editor so I assume there are other sources they have available that justifies its creation, or if they just made it on a whim with no intention to prove its notability. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:57, 11 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify I have changed my opinion due to the below comment. I support draftifying until possible reliable sources can be found. Still, if said sources are totally inaccessible, then the article should not have been made in mainspace yet. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 14:15, 12 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Nothing Newspapers.com but as with a lot of these the company websites need to be checked for reviews here + other info. [2](release date + other stuff), [3].[4] (some reviews here but I can't access them). Sources do exist here. Timur9008 (talk) 14:53, June 12, 2023 (UTC)
Comment This has made me realize that key Mac magazines from the 1990s are only partially archived online, like MacFormat and Mac Home Journal. Dgpop (talk) 13:42, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify. Finding sources seems to not be viable, but it may be in the future. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 18:42, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
