Hu? "Return to Zork" *is* officially supported, we had a news item for it and we added it to our compatibility page.

So I have to repeat the question: What does it even mean? By 'it' I mean the term "officially supported". Why is one game considered officially supported while another isn't, even tho both games work completely? Is it just a state of mind in the head of the developers and isn't considered supported until they flat out announce it, even tho it IS technically supported?
The point is, the chart is supposed to be for the SVN, so it should have games that work in the SVN, isn't that the whole point?

No. Like you said, new games are officially announced when a new stable version is released. Up until then, the engine is considered unofficial, in progress, etc. Just because you can play through it doesn\t mean it is fully supported. In the case of tinsel, they are waiting on greenlight to release them as freeware.

The chart is for officially supported engines.

That's not correct the mac ppc nightly is compiled every night (thus the 'nightly'). Therefore the current mac ppc nightly on the download page should be from last night. I downloaded it myself to check and it is apparently from June 16 which is one or two days older than I expected but still much more recent than February.

By the way the same is true of the mac intel nightly build.

There was a problem with the nightly builds yesterday, but the one from today (June 18 ) includes OS X builds for Intel and PowerPC (and starting today, the builds include .app bundles, so that they are actually usable for non-geeks, too

. The README is now missing, but we'll fix that soon.

If the readme isn't in place I doubt there will be a tutorial for them Harry.
I think it's one of the Buildbot ones that you need at the bottom of the downloads page. Inbetween GP2X, iPhone and PSP, Wii.
