both categories have NES in the title, is NES the only console allowed? if so why are there other consoles listed under the applicable consoles?

Off the top of my head I know there is an Amiga port and a gameboy game. Surely the runs wouldn't be directly comparable, but I'm all for adding categories or separate game entries for whatever makes sense. Do you have a run you're looking to submit?

looking to do a run on GB, but wanted to make sure I could submit first

There are a bunch of computer ports (Amiga, C64, MS-DOS and more?) that keep the same level layout, and simillar graphics, sound and music, but they are all horrible, laggy and not fun to play.

The gameboy port is a completely different game, and I would be interested in seeing a speedrun of it.

Good luck DarQ, I'm looking forward to seeing your run, and I'm sure someone can add a category for you.
