I just browsed through the game compatibility database, and I see that there's a lot of entries in there which should be fixed:

  • People mark a game as "broken", however, they add a comment stating "This game runs slowly and is thus unplayable" (Logical)
  • Games marked as "broken" in 0.58, however, there was a comment added which says that they run perfectly under 0.60 (Lemmings 2)
  • Some games appear more than once in the list, like "Solar Winds 1", where someone claims it's "broken" in 0.58, and the other one claims it's working (also in 0.58)

Maybe there could be a different approach to storing that information, like storing for each game whether it works in 0.58, 0.60 and/or future versions. Maybe even with a counter. So that you could have some statistics, like "This game is reported to work with 0.58 by 6 people, reported to be broken in 0.58 by 2 people and reported to work in 0.60 by 8 people"

Just my 5 cents...
