 Replying to [comment:6 i30817]:
 > If I'm understanding the issue correctly, you can use the command line
 options -a and -p to add multiple games with much fewer false positives
 and without having to choose.

 Using the -p and -a options does add only Orion Burger, though it still
 complain:

 {{{
 The game in 'orionburger' seems to be an unknown game variant.

 Please report the following data to the ScummVM team at
 https://bugs.scummvm.org/ along with the name of the game you tried to add
 and
 its version, language, etc.:

 Matched game IDs for the mads engine: nebular, phantom, dragonsphere,
 forest

   {"section1.hag", 0, "44773745949eee88762da4832dfb2517", 142360576},

 Game Added:
   Target:   burger
   GameID:   m4:burger
   Name:     Orion Burger (DOS/English)
   Language: English
   Platform: DOS
 Added 1 games
 }}}

 Even though the game appears to be a perfect match for this detection
 entry:

 {{{
         {
                 {
                         "burger",
                         nullptr,
                         AD_ENTRY1s("burger.has",
 "10c8064e9c771072122f50737ac97245", 730771),
                         Common::EN_ANY,
                         Common::kPlatformDOS,
                         ADGF_NO_FLAGS,
                         GUIO3(GUIO_NOASPECT, GUIO_NOMUSIC, GUIO_NOSPEECH)
                 },
                 GType_Burger,
                 kFeaturesCD
         },
 }}}

 Once a game has been positively identified, I have no interest in adding
 it as a possible unknown version of a completely different game. One that
 isn't even use the same game engine.
