What I am missing is a clear statement regarding the purpose of this  
page. Is it just meant to be a list of supported platforms? That  
seems redundant, we already list that in the README.

Or is it meant as a compatibility list, where we list for each port  
which devices/machines are supported, and which engines are supported  
by the port? I assume this is what you want to do, and I think it's a  
good thing, too! Only I'd not use a table but rather would use a  
"section" for each port. Do not lump engine incompatibilities into  
text at the page, either, but rather, put it into the section (or  
table row) of the corresponding engine. I.e. instead of writing at  
the bottom of the page that "The Dreamcast port does not support  
Curse of Monkey Island, nor The Dig", put that information right next  
to the other Dreamcast specific info.


Whatever it is, the purpose should be clearly stated at the top of  
the page :-)


Cheers,
