The find = GregJazz/Herculean Effort Productions
Another is probably Another Way Out... ?

I've played the games and the games/documentation didn't reveal any of the authors names.
I'll dig a bit deeper.

The answer is:  (you almost got it already there...)

On the bicycle host, day of the testicle was known as dott.zip, a Christmas tale as tale.zip.

Yeah, I know your problem... 

It's all about the bulbs.

Spoiler

Put in the red one and you'll see a track. Change bulbs in the order you see in the trail.

Still no luck?

You need to include the head of the moose and the x marks the spot.

\\--EDIT--//
Oh, and you can add The Life of Marty Shore (beta demo) to the list.

Not that the game can be found .... but still 

Part of OROW5 (2008), made by LimpingFish and can be downloaded here... (26.7Mb)

I know it's an unfortunate truth but some games are better than others so there needs to be some way to attempt to quantify that.

According to who? Better in what?  Graphics, sounds, game play, puzzles? There are games that are praised on this board that I think are total @#$#. Who decides what's good and what's not? It's all a matter of opinion and personal taste.

As said earlier, just create a distribution system, not a quality measuring system. If you want to add that as well, I'm with Dual, just put the games on there that you value.

My concern is more about things like training games and games that are impossible to play.

Hitchhikers would easily meet the kind of requirements i'm thinking of.

There are 'training games' of a pretty high standard. I believe every first entry of a game maker is a training game.

You have to ask yourself what your goal is with Nexus. Is it easy distribution or is it moderating the quality of games? And what about the panel? It has been proven on this board many times that the 'general public' doesn't always agree with the panel. So indeed, where do you draw the line?

What you could do is a rating system. Let the public rate the games and show these on top or promote them in an ad-section. The 'lesser' games will sink to the bottom (unless searched for). Then, for maintenance purposes, you could remove games that haven't been downloaded in 6 months. It's not that you want to start an archive ... is it?

Afaik there are no non-commercial titles in the database that have a disclaimer about the distribution. What you could do to be on the safe side is PM all the makers in the database and ask for permission. If the maker doesn't respond, don't bother to add the game. The maker then doesn't care for the game anymore or the game is way too old. That also takes care of all the DOS games that you can't play directly :-)

Well... what should you never hold close to inflatable objects?

Something sharp!

It plays without a problem here (XP). The title screen states: Greg's Monumental Adventure. But when the game doesn't have the focus for a while it crashes. Other than that, normally playable (in window and full screen 640x400, all settings are set to default).

For some reason they won't match in my database.. ?? Oh, well....
