I can't seem to log into the wiki to edit the page though; my gamingonlinux.com website credentials don't work, and MediaWiki account registration seems disabled.

I am looking forward to it. I loved text adventures back in the days!
In case you missed it, this is a good one!

OK, so I learnt a new word today.
I wasn't aware this German word can be used in English, too. (A nice one in contrast to say blitzkrieg.)
