Don't forget about those Looming question marks too :-) In a sense, that
page poses more questions than answers :-)

Maybe you're right there, that page was primarily created for reference
by the developers. But listing exhaustively all games there is just
overkill.
Anyway, as far as the windows ce port is concerned, the limitations with
the asterisk mean: Any games whose native resolution is above 320x240
(like COMI for SCUMM, or the swords, or DW2) cannot be run on the lowest
end of the devices which have a resolution of 176x220 pixels. Other than
that, a 'Yes' in that table means that the engine has been tested and
can be considered supported by the port. The question marks stand for
engines untested/not officially supported by the port.
Cheers,
Kostas
