Discis games (8x) - wrong genre categories
HoL link : https://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php..._publisher=223
All these Discis games (8x) are absolutely the same. But there are little differences between them in genre entries. I think it should be harmonized. So, here is my suggestion of genre entries: Genre ------- Category: Utility Subcategory: Utility - Storybook Dimension: 2D Origin: Book / Literature (not sure) Theme: Educational (maybe Educational - Reading?) Most Discis games almost match my suggestion. So, It shouldn't be so difficult to repair it, should it? I am speaking about it, because recently, I needed to select educational games and except of one, all Discis games are missing "Theme: Educational". For me, It's very important genre flag. My suggest is also missing "Scrolltype: Scrolling - Multi-directional" used in 7 of 8 their games, in my opinion It's wrong and useless. And I am not sure if "Origin: Book / Literature" is suitable for all 8 entries, if all these games are based on real books (or... does it have to be really based on reality?). |

All the games are based on books, so origin has been set accordingly. I set scrolltype to none for all of them and added the theme as well as marking them as storybooks. I hope I got it all.

your changes are correct, verified... But, I found out there yet language problems. A while ago, I tested all these 8 games (TOSEC versions) due to "Languages" and all games have correct language entries, that means: English French German Italian Spanish except of: Long Hard Day On The Ranch https://hol.abime.net/5792 -tested with "Long Hard Day at the Ranch, A (1991)(Discis)(en-es)" Scary Poems For Rotten Kids https://hol.abime.net/5796 -tested with "Scary Poems for Rotten Kids (1991)(Discis)(en-es)[!]" Thomas' Snowsuit https://hol.abime.net/5798 -tested with "Thomas' Snowsuit (1991)(Discis)(en-es)[!]" ----------------------------------------------- These 3 games are "English-Spanish" releases. All these 3 games have in Language entry only "English", so there should be added yet "Spanish" language. P.S. Maybe somewhere "M5" versions exist, who knows... AFAIK, the remaining Discis games (5x) have always 2 languages versions... (en-es) and (M5), except of "Tale Of Peter Rabbit", that has only (M5) version (in TOSEC) |

I've added Spanish to those three games. If a version with all five languages shows up I'll add them.
