Re: Umlauts and other diacritics are broken
We have the same issue with publishers. Like, two Dragonsoft, two Dream Software, two Excalibur Software etc. I've added a [1] and [2] to the names in question.

Re: Umlauts and other diacritics are broken
Alright, question marks in notes, synopsis and author names should be taken care of - all I found has been restored. If you find more broken things, I encourage you to fix by hand. If, however, you indeed find large amounts of broken entries, do alert me here. Thank you for all the support and the ...

Re: Umlauts and other diacritics are broken
There's a lot to keep track of on the linked page, but I haven't spotted anything egregious, either.
So please pull the trigger! And thanks a lot for preparing the fix

Re: Umlauts and other diacritics are broken
No, it would be pretty outdated, I'm afraid.
To avoid several passes, maybe we should ensure that the list of characters to be replaced is as complete as possible. I can take another look tomorrow, but don't have the time tonight.
Equally important, what can be done to avoid this in the future ...

Re: Umlauts and other diacritics are broken
Also, are other fields than the title also affected?
Yes, the user comments - see: https://solutionarchive.com/game/id%2C330/Lords+of+Karma.html:

Re: Umlauts and other diacritics are broken
Can you help assembling a list of characters which will need replacing - i.e. how they look now and what they are supposed to be? I have so far:
'ü' => 'ü',
'ä' => 'ä',
'ö' => 'ö',
'Ü' => 'Ü',
'é' => 'é',
'á' => 'á',
'ê' => 'ê'

Re: Umlauts and other diacritics are broken
I presume that it's a display error, as I don't know why these specific characters should have been corrupted.
As far as I can tell, all pages are displayed with UTF-8, which *is* able to display special characters such as these. I don't have any ideas straight away but I'll investigate.

Re: Perry Mason: The Case of the Mandarin Murder
I hadn't noticed this thread. I have a very soft spot for the Telarium series of games*, but I probably should revisit Perry Mason. I played it many moons ago and while deeply fascinated with this one, I found all the FROWNing etc. pretty confusing. Running a murder case is a far cry from the usual ...

Moved to the feedback forum.
@Mr. Creosote - might you have any idea why this is happening? The reviews simply open up to a blank page.

Re: Title and in game music in text adventures
Some C64 mentions (cause I love ingame music for my adventure games :D )
