The info is indeed there but it looks strange to me to have it in the  
Platform Compatibility table. What I can see there is that the NES  
version of
MM has issues ("Cutscenes need to be skipped in order to complete the  
game") and this does not depend on the platform. I would have written  
that info in the Game Variant section and then simplified the  
platform listing as you have done on the Nippon Safes page.

I have modified the MM page to show what I mean. Any comments? (see  
the DOTT page to see how the information was organised before my change)

Agree. See above


I have two unrelated comments concerning Maniac Mansion:
* A macintosh version is listed on the datafiles page but not on the  
game page (and neither is it in the wikipedia page or in mobygames).  
Was there one ?

* NES version is not listed on the game datafiles page. Should we  
list it and link to http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/User_Manual/ 
Game_Specific_Instructions#Maniac_Mansion_NES ?
