Historical Note
The sales data on this disc appears to come from The NPD Group, which began collecting North American video game sales data in 1995. The data for games released before 1995 is incomplete.
eg., the file "SITE/Melani's Book 6.xls" lists a total lifetime sales of 22 units for the Game Boy version of Mr. Do!. This game was released in North America in 1992, and this data likely only reflects sales from 1995–2001.
