:Nice idea :) I think this page should be linked in the main navigation pane (currently no page links to it), together with the "Fan games" category. This would make it easier for users to locate the game they want. After all, not everyone knows which game engine supports each game. Also, I think that every game should be linked to this category, so that the user can easily return to it (although this might be avoided if this page is directly linked from the main links pane).

Subcategories
Earlier, I made Fan Games a subcategory of Games. This straightens it up a little instead of having two separate categories. I think it would be a good idea to sort the rest of the games into separate subcategories (ie. SCUMM Games, Gob Games). Or, maybe even LucasArts SCUMM Games / Humongous Entertainment SCUMM Games. Any comments? -Clone2727 23:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- I like the subcategory idea - it worked out well. However, now the games category is empty. I suggest that we re-add the Category:Games to each supported game, now that we have an unsupported games sub-category. That way people could come to Category:Games to look at a general list of supported games, and then go to the subcategories if they want to see what engine each supported game runs on.

The way it's set up now makes someone have to know what engine a particular game runs on in order to find out if scummvm supports a game, which seems to defeat the original purpose of category:games, which was to show which games scummvm supports.

- Nice idea :) I think this page should be linked in the main navigation pane (currently no page links to it), together with the "Fan games" category. This would make it easier for users to locate the game they want. After all, not everyone knows which game engine supports each game. Also, I think that every game should be linked to this category, so that the user can easily return to it (although this might be avoided if this page is directly linked from the main links pane).
