Hi! Yes, they are!
I'm just listing games that should be removed and some that might be added to this list https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... up_id=1024

Regarding The Wat of Clans (https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 6&id=13123), as far as I can understand, it is not a game, but a document explaining the development of one. It includes three screenshots/mockups, one of them look like a vector:

So, I think it is ok to leave it on the list, since we don't have more information.

I'm revisiting this thread, to start suggesting the changes on the database, and I want to point out a couple of very interesting games on the list.

In this particular case Strike Force Harrier - https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=4949 a flight simulator that seems NOT to be using any vector at all. Vehicles and buildings are just sprites, the horizon is a line that looks very choppy at an angle, and the only thing that could be some sort of vector triangle are the mountains, that really look like a pre-calculated element:
