Advanced Search

Definitions of the Attributes can be found by following the links in the Attribute table. If the search produces a game that has Attributes that you marked as forbidden, well, I'm not at all surprised. Just drop me a line and I'll fix it.

One warning: In some cases, knowledge of these attributes can spoil puzzles. Take care.
