I'll review this soon. Namcokid47 ^(Contribs) 14:45, 8 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I'm gonna have to fail this nomination. Reading through this article I notice a plethora of issues, including:

• Lots of really poor writing in places. Examples include "Preppie!'s gameplay follows the design established by Frogger: cross lanes of traffic, then maneuver across water by jumping on floating objects.", "Preppie! was considered to have some of the best visuals and audio for the Atari computers and was well-received by contemporary critics", etc.
• No gameplay screenshot
• Refs 1, 6, 13, 14 and 16 do not appear reliable.
• I don't see why the Web Archive link in External links needs to be there, nor do I see the purpose of the "See Also" section with mildly-related games.
• The comments by the reviewers should not just be a list of random comments they made, they should be weaved together into sentences.
