Improved to Good Article status by KGRAMR (talk). Nominated by Grandmaster Huon (talk) at 15:35, 31 August 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Cybermorph; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Sorry, but i'm the person who improved the Cybermorph article to GA status, not Grandmaster Huon. Is there any way to nullify the DYK nomination? Grandmaster Huon was banned. Roberth Martinez (talk) 03:06, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
- @KGRAMR: Would you be willing to adopt the nomination or let another editor adopt it, considering the circumstances? Cybermorph is rather notorious around bad video game circles and it would be a shame if the article couldn't be featured on DYK due to a technicality.

- @Narutolovehinata5 and KGRAMR: This should be trivial to change to "improved by KGRAMR, nominated by Grandmaster Huon" if so desired. KGRAMR is also QPQ-exempt, so no concern there. (Disclosure: Reviewed this page at GA.) Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:58, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Sammi Brie: Sure, no problem! Let me see what i can come up as a hook line. @Narutolovehinata5: I would recommend playing Cybermorph by yourself, instead of relying what other critics think. Just a friendly advice. I've played the game when i had my Jaguar years ago in the 2000s, and it's a fun little shooter that's kinda reminiscent of Descent but without the six degrees of freedom. It's more akin to Virus (a.k.a. Zarch) on microcomputers. Roberth Martinez (talk) 22:16, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
- I gave it a try many moons ago on an emulator (not the ideal experience but whatever) and I can see why it isn't liked. Still a fascinating piece of gaming history nonetheless that in some ways may have been ahead of its time and could have been better had the Jaguar been better.

- @Sammi Brie:OK so, here is a possible hook line:
- ALT1: "... that a landscape demo created by Attention to Detail for the Konix Multisystem became the basis for Cybermorph on Atari Jaguar?" Sources: [1], [2]
- I think it's a decent hook line for the DYK nomination... Roberth Martinez (talk) 01:26, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
