The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- While based on standard x86-16 and x86-32 processors, it uses an in-house architecture making it incompatible with IBM clones, some PC-98 computers used NEC's own V30 processor.
- The platform established NEC's dominance in the Japanese personal computer market, and, by 1999, more than 18 million units had been sold.
- While NEC did not market these specific machines in the West, it sold the NEC APC series, which had similar hardware to early PC-98 models.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The PC-98 article was read about 95,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 81 and blocks with 87: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get PC-98
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
