I cannot find any reliable sources for this. Fails WP:GNG. PJvanMill (talk) 22:15, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

This, too: Creatures II: Torture Trouble. Much the same, unless those magazine pages can be considered reliable. PJvanMill (talk) 22:18, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

• Keep Meets WP:GNG as there is multiple in-depth coverage of this game such as Retro Gamer [https://www.retrogamer.net/retro_games90/the-making-of-creatures/], ST Format [https://archive.org/stream/ST_Format_Issue_047_1993-06_Future_Publishing_GB#page/n65/mode/1up], Eurogamer [https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/creatures-review], Computer and Video Games [https://archive.org/stream/computer-video-games-magazine-112/CVG112_Mar_1991#page/n43/mode/2up], Commodore Format [https://archive.org/stream/commodore-format-magazine-06/Commodore_Format_Issue_06_1991_03#page/n77/mode/2up], Your Commodore [https://archive.org/stream/74-your-commodore-magazine/Your_Commodore_Issue_74_1990_Dec#page/n57/mode/2up], Zzap!64 [https://archive.org/stream/zzapp_64_issue_068_600dpi/Zzap640068Hi#page/n17/mode/2up].

:: My main concern here is whether these sources can be considered generally reliable. The Eurogamer one is user-generated, so I think that's out. The other ones all don't look very reliable to me, but maybe I'm biased against colourful things and some of those magazines do have a repuation for fact-checking.

:::Eurogamer article was written by Spanner Spencer, now a staff at Pocket Gamer, which is considered reliable at WP:VG/RS, so I have no reliability issues there. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 07:12, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

:::I think you're biased against colorful things. These are five computer magazines from 1990-1991 reviewing the game, which clearly demonstrates that the game was considered notable at the time. — Toughpigs (talk) 00:21, 20 June 2020 (UTC)

:::: It was just a reservation I had, not a complete rejection. PJvanMill (talk) 11:22, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

• Keep per the sources identified by Jovanmilic97. — Toughpigs (talk) 00:11, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
• Keep The sources are good and could better serve this article by being added into it. As proper citations, not further reading. --Micky (talk) 00:48, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
• Keep Per all the sources provided, above. Lugnuts ^{Fire Walk with Me} 07:26, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
• KEEP Both games have reliable sources giving them significant coverage. Dream Focus 14:08, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
• Keep as nom, this is sufficient for the GNG after all. PJvanMill (talk) 11:22, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
