Fair enough, so the "non-adventure games" part does no belong to this
discussion.

I wanted to clarify these points beforehand, as I didn't want to have final
strict rules about everything. Cause there clearly are and will be
exceptions (a notable one being the pseudo-3d games). I wouldn't want to
have people saying "here are our rules, this engine doesn't strictly adhere
to them, thus it won't be merged". Thus, I understand that these rules are
meant to be guidelines, and that there will be exceptions to them if a game
doesn't quite fit the general description (like in the examples I
mentioned), right? Hence, we can leave them ambiguous and open to
discussion, rather than strict and describing all possible engine
suggestions.

I just want to clear this up now, to avoid arguing about it in the future.
