You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.239.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 07:38, 2 November 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Nihongo foot|'''''Enigma'''''|エニグマ|Eniguma|group=lower-alpha|lead=yes)) is an [[Action-adventure game|action-adventure]] [[video game]] developed by [[Omega Force]] and published by [[Koei]] for the [[PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]]. Set in 1920, the game features three playable characters from England, Japan, and America, who travel the world solving puzzles in various ruins and temples. The game was never released outside of Japan.

== Gameplay ==
Enigma is a single player adventure game with three selectable characters.<ref name=":3">((Cite magazine|date=July 1998|title=Jogo Rapido: Enigma|magazine=Acao Games|language=PT|location=Brazil|publisher=Editora Abril|issue=129|page=9))</ref>

== Development and release==
The game was developed by [[Omega Force]], who had previously developed ''[[Dynasty Warriors (1997 video game)|Dynasty Warriors]]''. During this period, Koei was attempting to branch out from the strategy game genre that they were known for. They produced several games such as the shooting game ''[[WinBack|Winback]]'', the fighting game ''Dynasty Warriors'', as well as Enigma, an adventure game.<ref>((Cite magazine|date=October 1998|title=All Format Previews: Winback|magazine=Gamers' Republic|issue=5|page=58))</ref> The game was directed by Kazuta Imamura, while Tatsuya Yazaki served as the producer, and Kageki Shimodo wrote the story.<ref>[http://raido.moe/staff/ps1/ps1_enigma.html End Credits] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181125225330/http://raido.moe/staff/ps1/ps1_enigma.html |date=2018-11-25 )), Enigma, Koei 1998</ref> When the game was announced in June 1997 at [[Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]], development was expected to take 9 months, and there was initial plans to localize the game for English markets. At the time, a PlayStation version was confirmed, but there were also the possibility of versions for the [[Nintendo 64]], or [[Personal computer|Personal Computer]] as well.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/1997/06/21/e3-koei-to-make-games-for-n64|title=E3: KOEI to Make Games for N64|author=IGN Staff|date=1997-06-20|website=IGN|language=en-US|access-date=2018-11-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181125225330/https://www.ign.com/articles/1997/06/21/e3-koei-to-make-games-for-n64|archive-date=2018-11-25|url-status=live))</ref><ref name=":1" /> A spokesperson for Koei at the time described the game as like "''[[Indiana Jones]]'' but with a twist of ''Resident Evil''".<ref name=":1">((Cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/1997/06/27/dynasty-warriors-palace-chat-transcription|title=Dynasty Warriors Palace Chat Transcription|author=IGN Staff|date=1997-06-26|website=IGN|language=en-US|access-date=2018-11-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181125225330/https://www.ign.com/articles/1997/06/27/dynasty-warriors-palace-chat-transcription|archive-date=2018-11-25|url-status=live))</ref> The spokesperson also said it was possible that the game could outsell the recently released game ''[[Final Fantasy VII|Final Fantasy 7]]''.<ref name=":1" />

The game was later shown at the [[Tokyo Game Show]] Spring 1998.<ref>((Cite magazine|date=May 1998|title=Messebericht: Tokyo Game Show Spring 98|magazine=VideoGames|language=de|pages=12))</ref> It was part of over 200 PlayStation games shown at the show, compared to just 16 for the Nintendo 64.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/1998/02/10/tokyo-game-show-march-bow-to-playstation|title=Tokyo Game Show March: Bow to PlayStation|author=IGN Staff|date=1998-02-09|website=IGN|language=en-US|access-date=2018-11-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181125225330/https://www.ign.com/articles/1998/02/10/tokyo-game-show-march-bow-to-playstation|archive-date=2018-11-25|url-status=live))</ref>
