Could you explain what you've done with the PC/Mac games? They have "PC/Mac" written on the covers, which is why I made the category. (example) - Hivebrain (talk) 13:49, 27 May 2019 (EDT)
- This was done as an attempt to disambiguate between games for Mac OS Classic and games for Mac OS X. It also provides some consistency with the other Mac OS X categories, which all use "OS X". ccawley2011 (talk) 13:58, 27 May 2019 (EDT)
- This isn't wrong. But we might have to come up with a better solution to the idea of "multi-platform" releases - Fahrenheit is MCD/MCD32X, and there's a couple of Amiga/DOS or Amiga/ST disks that we're maybe not catering for properly.
- It's not much of an issue on Sega Retro but I fear it may become more of a thing on NEC Retro. In the UK at least, it wasn't uncommon to see a ZX Spectrum version of a game on one side of a cassette, and the Amstrad CPC version on the other - I wouldn't be at all surprised if that wasn't happening in Japan. -Black Squirrel (talk) 14:21, 27 May 2019 (EDT)
