Re:Classic Nintendo Games Are NP-Hard (2012) by yorwba on Thursday December 28, 2017 @01:29PM (#16023816)
It depends on whether you regard the game as limited to the pre-defined levels or allow new levels to be constructed using the same rules. The constructions discussed in the article are all about encoding NP-Complete problems in new level layouts, such that the player has to make a series of irrevocable decisions that need to encode a solution to the NP problem in order to solve the level.
