Computers don't use NTSC. Or PAL. Those are TV video standards. Why does it have all that stuff on all the covers in that section? Well, that was a dumb question; I know why: it was automatically generated back when this site didn't have a computer games section to every cover from America or Europe, respectively, and made its way to the Windows section when it was created. The more important question is: Can it be fixed? It's not super important but it is annoying.

Also, handhelds aren't NTSC or PAL either.

I guess it'd be better to only have flags, but I dunno. Also, this would be better in feedback.

The only reason I see to have them is because countries don't use the same rating system.

The problem is that when we admins post the covers to the site we have to choose a TV standard from a dropdown menu....
So until there is a point "No TV standard" or something like that in the dropdown menu we'll choose the standard after the country the cover comes from....
2 + 3 = 23

I'll work on setting it up not to display this information for systems/platforms that don't require it.

I guess you could say the same about Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS.

I think the region all games come from should still be displayed for all games, but for the systems that don't use video standards they should be dropped. This would effect all handheld and Computer games.
