Systems in Bold are the system(s) we recommend to get that game for. Numbers in Bold indicate that the number is in the top 50. When a / is indicated between symbols it means the game is for multiple systems located between the /'s. Use the System Abbreviations to find out what each means. Under the Rankings columns each number corresponds with each symbol. For example in Final Fantasy VII's row there are 2 numbers per ranking. The first number corresponds with the PlayStation system while the second number corresponds with the PC. If it says NA in one of the Rankings columns it means that there weren't enough reviews for that game to rank it.
