Perhaps it does because you have seen the icons already so even if they're not there, you have no trouble "matching the right icon to the right line of text". Thing is, above it is promised you will find a list of all the icons, but you won't. Perhaps others who are unfamiliar with these icons are looking for something icon-looking. We still get questions about that NO 90, but if that piece of text was acompanied by the NO GO icon, then perhaps their light bulb would light up before asking "what's wrong with the number 90?".

I'm very tempted to make more jokes on the newbies, but enough. :amused:

Yes, that might bring the problem a bit closer to solution. But some people will still ask before thinking or reading. This we cannot avoid. :notrust:

On the other hand, the % of those kind of "no go" / "ESA"questions are probably very low compared to the amount of visitors here, even the new ones.
Peeps that are visiting the site/forum daily -(or even more often)- will of course be amazed that almost daily there is such post, but in fact it only occurs sporadically.
It's also comprehensible that these ever returning questions in the same topic is because noone reads a 10 pages topic (ref : princess maker2)

Can you download this game here? I'm not sure if I'm just being stupid and can't find the link or something. I found this page through another website (the girl was suggesting where to find the game.) I'd really like to be able to play this. It sounds like loads of fun.

Thanks.

I did't realise it before but if you hover your curser over the No Go icon a text box pops up saying "download" this could be causing the confusion

I have an interesting question. If a game is ESA protected shouldn't the manuals to the game go under the same jurisdiction? I'm just curious.

Nope, they have legitimate uses (serving as replacement of genuine owners of the original game who misplaced theirs).
If a company specifically wanted manuals for one of their games to be removed and contacted us to do so, we would.

Returning on topic:
@Data about new icons: I don't see Maikel on site since years and I don't think he will answer to me.
So, I wonder whether someone will change "NO 90" icon with a new one (mine or russ, it doesn't matter) or not.
