LED handhelds (What would be the parent for this category?)

Also, regarding the Region issue. This is something we're looking into adding to the games instead of the categories, but will take a bit of time and some work to get it all figured out.

Oy...if we're adding categories then can we get that update to Interactive Figures pushed through?

Do these need an additional Parent Category too? I wasn't sure exactly where to place these yet:
Fujitsu FM-7
NEC PC-6001 [JP]

Thanks for all the additions, Jason! Should the new ratings have (South Korea) next to them like the other ratings so people know what games they apply to?

Thanks for catching that. I've fixed that now.

FM-7 can probably just be put into Other.

For the NEC PC-6001, maybe have a NEC PC category and put the PC-88 and PC-98 and the PC-6001 under that?

What's this?

http://vgcollect.com/browse/dragon

It's on the browse page under the 3DO category.

[tripredacus]

I think it is supposed to be Dragon 32. Naming it simply "Dragon" wouldn't be right, it should either be Dragon 32 or Dragon 32/64, even if Dragon 64 isn't really a hardware platform. It is not related to the 3DO at all.

[ignition365]

It goes to a 404 page.

It goes to a 404 page.

There are no items in the category.

But you are right, categories should not say 404. If they are empty, we should have a page saying no items have been added or approved yet.

[jason]

Ok. I've updated the following:
NEC PC-6001 / Dragon 32 / Fujitsu FM-7

If you notice any other issues, please let me know.

I'm adding this to my to do list.

Another request:
PS4 [KR]

Thanks

Regarding splitting the PC category as is still under evaluation. Wouldn't it make more sense to just have one category for the floppy disks and one for the optical discs? I mean, there was a time when PC games game delivered both on 3.5 and 5.25 inch disks in the same box (this might also be true for CD/DVD). Would it perhaps be easier/better to structure it something like this:

Split PC [NA] into:
- PC 3.5"/5.25" Floppy Disk [NA]
- PC CD/DVD-ROM [NA]

Split PC [EU] into:
- PC 3.5"/5.25" Floppy Disk [EU]
- PC CD/DVD-ROM [EU]
- PC - Digital Download [EU]

Since the majority of the existing games within the PC [NA] and PC [EU] categories are CD/DVD releases, just rename these categories to PC CD/DVD-ROM [NA] and PC CD/DVD-ROM [EU] and let the users move the floppy versions of games over to the new PC 3.5"/5.25" Floppy Disk categories over time.

Concerning digital download, I don't think there should be a region specific category at all.

Names and availability do vary region to region.
