Hack corrections

[JAM]

Downloaded the hack marked [UH] and it's actually headered?
Release date of certain hack was set wrong?
Found a new version of existing hack?
Want to suggest a genre or difficulty instead of "Unknown"?

Post the stuff to be changed here.

I decided to create one topic for the hacks on the new main site instead of 100500 topics like "Hey, hack X is for headered!" or messages in Talk of the Day topic.

Ah, okay. So I think I can put my suggestions of my personal message to GF_Kennon regarding hacks into here aswell (and I guess I will add the rest of the hack characterization suggestions into this thread then in the future, too):

As I said on IRC some days ago, I made a list of hacks to which I assigned Genres and Difficulty levels, and before I did that, I read up and wrote down the definitions of the genres and difficulties the way they are explained in the hack rating list and looked up some example-hacks that I already knew that were already characterized so I could get a feeling for how I should assign genres and difficulties by comparing new hacks with the given, already characterized ones. At some parts it was not that easy to see what the definitions´ exact intention was and a few times it felt like a hack was "in between" two genres, but I think the following characterizations are done in a proper way. I only characterized hacks that I already played as far as a human can get without tools. There is a bunch of hacks that I played left, that I have not characterized yet since for those I did not want to rely on rather weak memories from playing those, but I will add those in another personal message later maybe when/if I got time to do so. In case you think some characterization should be changed, all I can provide for comparison issues would be my playthrough videos that I got for almost all of the hacks. If people complain about wrong/inaccurate characterizations, you can direct those to me ;) , since I´d be responsible for it then I guess, but I think it could also help if the authors of hacks do the characterization of their own hacks, provided they are still around.

I don't know if it's still valid to correct stuff here, but the download link for Super Hauntroid is just a link to an image file rather than the ips or a zipped ips. There doesn't seem to be any way to get the hack.
