The problem was that the Engine Limit page was not marked "Manual Entry" so it did not have that large warning box on top of it.
I've now deleted all the pages marked as "Manual Entry" (with the first page giving a link to the updated online manual, as this page is still being linked by the Main page) plus the Engine Limit page.
There are certainly many other outdated pages but I'd rather leave them as-is and only act "on-demand" to avoid complications.

I thought it's a Neo Geo baseball game, so I looked it up:
Baseball Stars 2

Everyone! Please stay on topic and refrain from attacking each other or I'll do something to this thread.
Thank you!

Nope, Gilbert  its the next movie now!
Hehe. Actually I didn't know the last movie was exactly that. All I took was that the robot looked a bit like one in the Black Hole!

Check the string formating section of the manual for more examples.

I don't know. Maybe what I'm saying is just BS, but maybe it's possible that the limit on available copies was imposed in order to meet some law/contract/whatever requirements that only a particular number of licensed copies can be sold?

Maybe.

I never tried other browsers, but the forums still work with the latest version of Opera that is still using the Presto engine (the move to using Chrome's engine made me stop updating it), maybe for some reasons the current forum software favours more towards outdated old classic browsers?

Oh, they finally remade Lost in Space? Personally I think the last film was not that bad, so its failure in spinning off to TV land was unfortunate.

Don't know what this is, but I feel odd that this 'log across chasm with or without a waterfall behind' scene was replicated so many times.
Yeah I know this could be something very generic, but the composition, angle, etc. were almost identical in most of the cases. Maybe this is a homage to the original King Kong?

As the number of games I've played was limited my list is short.

Top Tier:
Loom
Day of the Tentacles

Middle Tier:
Monkey Island 1
Fate of Atlantis
The Dig
Sam & Max Hit the Road

Lower Tier:
Full Throttle
Indiana Jones Last Crusade
Maniac Mansion
Monkey Island 2

Seems that my opinions are quite different from most people.

One obvious departure is that IMO while the MI games are good, they are not great(having only played the first 2 games I don't know the rest). I just couldn't fully understand (maybe never will) why people often put them so high up in the list. It's possibly a cultural thing, that I don't know why western people are that into pirates, and that not many of the jokes are that funny to me (possibly due to me not understanding why they're funny, like... Monkey Wrench, which never sticks). To me, MI1 and MI2 are actually quite similar in fun level, but personally I don't like the muddy painting graphical style of the sequel, so I just put it into the lower tier. (Me being not a fan of monkeys may play a small role, too.)

Also, I understand why most people put Full Throttle higher up than The Dig (I think people had already explained clearly in the past), but personally I like The Dig more for its cinematic atmosphere and presentation. For FT, maybe it's because I'm not that much into rock and biker gangs, etc. (the FMV battles are also a factor that I do not like it much) but anyway this was the 1st Lucasfilm adventure game that I was able to complete all by my own, without asking other people or consulting a walkthrough.

Yeah :smiley: and this is the arcade version. I know this should be easy, though I think the infamous Mega Drive version (with realistic visuals) should be more familiar to people.
Your turn!

This could take a while.
For some reasons I could not access my comp at home for a few months now (and obvious I don't want to do it with my phone).
So, anyone can steal this spot if they like, or wait for me to try to post something tomorrow.
