I'll have a look at this one. I first heard of this game while doing research for United Game Artists, and it seems like an interesting game. Comments to come soon. Red Phoenix ^talk 12:32, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, on review I don't have much. Nice job with this article! Here's what I do have for you:

Take a look at the fair use rationale for File:Xenon II Megablast in-game screenshot (Atari ST).png . Specifically I'm looking at the "low resolution" parameter where it's stated it's of a low resolution inherently - and then a bot had to go back and reduce it because it wasn't low resolution enough. I would put in that the resolution has been reduced from the original.
In the last paragraph of Development and release, we have a very abrupt shift from a story about a release contest into a listing paragraph of all the other releases. Can this be smoothed out to read easier? Maybe some transitional wording or separating the paragraph. I'll let you decide how you want to handle it.
Be careful what you link in references. Links to magazine copies on archive.org are likely okay, but one of your magazine sources is linked to http://www.atarimania.com/. I grant you it's tough to know for sure without contacting the administrators of the website, but I'm almost positive their copy of the magazine source is posted without permission and therefore we've linked to a copyright violation. That's not something we want to do, and I'd just remove the URL from the reference. The source is no less valid for not having a URL.
While I'm okay with it, be advised that if you took this to FAC eventually you would probably get some challenges on the inclusion of the music file, simply because it's not a standard in video game articles.

This article looks fantastic, and that's really all the gripe I have. I look forward to passing this article very soon. Red Phoenix ^talk 13:05, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
