 * Hi,
 * Are your NES games saved as a particular post type, or as a post with a specific
   term assigned? Depending on which way they are saved to your database you want
   something like, either:
 *     ```
       [a-z-listing display="posts" post-type="your-nes-post-type"]
       ```
   
 * or
 *     ```
       [a-z-listing display="posts post-type="post" taxonomy="the-taxonomy-containing-the-nes-games-term" terms="the-nes-games-term"]
       ```

 * I would like to have 2 shortcodes;
    – NES post. – Super Mario tag.
 * How can I do?
 * I just created this shortcode, but I’m currently having problems on the site 
   and couldn’t check if it works.
    `[a-z-listing numbers="before" group-numbers
   ="yes" display="posts" post-type="nes"]`
 * I don’t quite understand what you mean.
