;Lead
- "and has been described as the video game industry's first killer app" - link killer application to this, and put it in quotes
:* Done. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:48, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
- The lead summarises the article and is well-written
;Body
- Minor, but I would split the sources into two columns
- "...but he stopped working on the game and left Atari" - is it stated why he left Atari?
- : So in one source, it says he left after Space Invaders upset at the industry. In another source, it suggests this might not be the case as he had clearly started working on another game and left in the middle of it. So there might be some partial truth the other one, but its not clear. One historian who has tried reaching out to him has no luck, and even went as far to suggest as he might not be alive anymore. So I left it at this even if it feels like there is some missing bits. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:48, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
Clearly meeting the GA criteria, I see no alternative but to outright pass this. It is well-written and I feel is comprehensive enough to meet every aspect of the criteria. If you decide to take this to FAC, I would recommend an expansion. {{icon|GA}} Jaguar (talk) 10:05, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
