Another PresN early video game GA nomination, another Indrian GA review. Same as it ever was. Comments, as always, to follow. Indrian (talk) 04:24, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay on this one. I gave the whole article a thorough copyedit, leaving just one point of fact to be addressed: Note 1 states that Stony Brook is correct in calling Tennis for Two the first analog computer game. This depends a bit on how we define a "game," but the computer war simulation Hutspiel created by the Army's Operations Research Office in 1955 ran on the Goodyear Electronic Differential Analyzer, which was also an analog computer. This probably deserves a mention in the note.

I'll go ahead and put this  On hold while you decide what to do. Indrian (talk) 17:18, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Indrian: Added a mention of it to the note, with the caveats that it's a little hazy to what extent it was a "computer game" versus a simulation game that used a computer to perform calculations. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 18:38, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@PresN: Looks good to me; let's go ahead and promote this sucker. Indrian (talk) 18:50, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
