Final Fantasy 1: weapons
When two names are reported, the first one is from the NES 1990 version, the second one from the PSX and GBA 2003-2004 remakes.

Default sorting is by price. Weapons that can only be found but not purchased are listed afterwards, as more valuable; their listed price is twice the selling price, because every weapon can be sold for half its purchasing price; anyway, their Price cell is shaded in gray.

Special effects:
 * Item: use the weapon from the "Item" menu to cast a spell; alignment (B/W) and level (1-8) of the spell are noted as well. (Does the weapon have to be equipped? I forgot!)
 * Elements: Fire is strong versus ice and undead enemies; Ice is strong versus fire enemies; Holy is extra-strong versus undead enemies. The Excalibur deals extra damage to any enemy.

Classes legend:
 * wK: Warrior and Knight
 * tN: Thief and Ninja
 * mM: Monk and Master
 * rR: Red Mage and Red Wizard
 * wW: White Mage and White Wizard
 * bB: Black Mage and Black Wizard

Final Fantasy 3: NES weapons
Weapons introduced in the DS remake and not present in the original Famicom version are highlighted in yellow.

Selling price is half of purchase price. For weapons that can only be found but not bought, the price column reports twice the selling price.

The Other jobs column does not report the Ninja and the Onion Knight because these two classes can equip almost any weapon.

Generic weapons
There are two distinct groups of weapons that can be equipped by several classes.

Freelancer's weapons
These are the basic weapons, with low attack values and little special effects. The weapons in this section are not rewritten in other tables, except for the arrows and weapons with special effects.

Magicians' staves and rods
There are eight different jobs that can equip rods and staves. They can be classified as follows: Note that the Red mage can also equip some swords, and in the Famicom version the Sage can equip any book.

In general, most staves are equipped by White magic users, most rods are equipped by black magic and summon magic users, and the "mixed" magic users can equip both.

Warrior's weapons

Red mage's weapons

Monk's nunckhucks

Ranger's bows and arrows

Mystic knight's katanas

Ninja's weapons
The Ninja can equip almost every weapon, plus the Shurikens.

Always equipped weapons
The Reaver Twin Machine Guns can be bought back if they are sold.

Selectable weapons
The Megabomb is a single use weapon: press the spacebar once to release one Megabomb. You can carry up to five Megabombs at once.

The hotkey for the Twin Laser is really the "-" button, next to the "0" button.

Challenges
Try clearing the video game with a limited selection of weapons, i.e. no more than two, and without the machine gun. You would like to have either a single weapon for aerial and terrestrial target, or two, one for air targets and one for ground target.

Examples:
 * Plasma cannon (air) & Bomb (ground)
 * Laser turret (air) & Air-ground missiles (ground)
 * Micro missiles alone
 * Twin laser alone

Cheats
Press backspace to lose all money, get full health and two Deathrays that can be sold for good money. The more times you press backspace, the more Deathrays you get. You can then abort mission, sell the Deathrays and buy any weapon you like.

Scientific classification of Pokémon
From a taxonomical point of view, there are 76 Pokémon species, instead of 151.

What the Western translations of the videogames call "evolution" is actually growth from young to adult. Also, what is called "species" in the videogames is actually a life stage, e.g. young, cocoon or adult.

Of all the Pokémon species, the vast majority is inspired to real animals existing in nature, and they can be classified according to Lynnaeus method. Note that Lynnaeus lived one century before Darwin and the formulation of the scientific theory of evolution (Note also that "scientific theory" means "set of correlated theorems").

Scientific Pokédex
NOTE: Strictly speaking, "Invertebrata" is not an animal phylum, but a term of convenience including all phyla except for chordata. Here, it is used to group all the few animal pokémons that are neither Chordates/Vertebrates nor Arthropodes.
