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
