I know not many people have played these games, but perhaps someone knows the answer. Does the SNES or PC version actually show or say that the apple hit Newton on the head, as the article claims? The NES version doesn't, and this isn't actually what happened in history. Watching a falling apple did contribute to Newton's thoughts on gravity, but he merely observed it. The real Newton was no more hit by an apple than Washington's teeth were made of wood or Napoleon was extremely short; it's one of those historical facts everyone "knows", but isn't actually true. | I know not many people have played these games, but perhaps someone knows the answer.
