Play Nintendo puzzles[edit]

Since all the Play Nintendo puzzles are the same except their images, winning messages, and preview text, I think we should be able to cover them all in one article. --DeepFriedCabbage 21:34, December 29, 2019 (EST)

"NEC personal computers" specifically?[edit]

So, as we were want to do, we were trying to look through the home computer games, and noticed that the assorted titles (like Super Mario Bros. Special or Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū) for various Japanese home computers of the era, y'know, the PC-88, the Sharp X1, the works, are listed as "NEC personal computers". Which... Sure, all the games were released for, at the very least, a computer by NEC. But also, that is a... Woefully incomplete picture. The Sharp X1 was not by NEC, and yet it houses what are probably the most "famous" (well, famous by "obscure games for Japanese home computers" metrics.) versions of DK3DG and SMBS; you wouldn't know it from the navbox, though, because these are simply being listed as NEC titles.

So... Should this section be renamed, and if so, to what? "Japanese home computers" feels like a rather straightforward catch-all, even if it is definitely a bit ambiguous as to what that even means to someone not "in the know" about the Japanese computing scene.

Per a comment on the discord from M4E, we've gone ahead and implemented this. We hope that's fine! Camwoodstock-sigicon.png~Camwoodstock ( talk contribs ) Camwoodstock-sigicon2.png 19:48, April 23, 2025 (EDT)
