Thank you for your suggestions. One of them has been implemented and is now online.
Looks and works lovely, cheers! ;-)
Only noticed this now. This is pretty impressive work! Thank you mrkgnao.

Nice improvements, GJ! Though if I can be a bit blunt, GOG's SysReqs are about as useful as their search tools ;)

I completely agree. That is one of the reasons I did not implement sys reqs in the first release.
All I can do is allow people to search through what GOG is offering, which is indeed quite crappy.
I guess that in this respect GOG stands for "Garbage-in Occasions Garbage-out".
Thanks for the impressive work, mrkgnao!
If I may offer a suggestion, it would be a good idea to allow us to search for games with a specific price point (eg. $9.99). Currently, this can be achieved by using 2 filters (is no more than and is at least), so it would be convenient to rely on only one (is exactly).

Will do.
P.S. My wife will be glad to hear that she was not the only one that thought this was necessary.

Hi I love the search engine!

Do you take requests for improving the usability of the html? I think it would helpful if you use the label element for the checkbox labels. This would allow you to click on the label to select or deselect the checkbox and it also helps people who use screen readers.

I don't think I can post HTML so here's a page from MDN that explains it: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/HTML/Forms/How_to_structure_an_HTML_form#The_%3Clabel%3E_element

And here's a quicky fakey website that shows what I mean: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/25688372/magog/magog_example.html

EDIT:
Wait, I'll see if I can post code:
<label><input id="dsp_i" name="dsp_in[]" value="i" checked type="checkbox"> Image</label>

EDIT2: Ooh actually that kind of worked. Often forums strip out HTML.

Wonderful! I didn't know that! (I'm not a web developer).
Will definitely add it in a day or two.
Please do not hesitate to make more suggestions, whether HTML-related or not.

Yeah for the dark grey colour scheme!

But now I have another request - pretty please!
With the dark grey background, the white font (#ffffff) sticks out even brighter than before. Any chance of something a bit softer (#dbdbdb)?

Once again, kudos for both your efforts and results! MaGog is shaping up very nicely, cheers! :-)

Oh yes. I meant to write that I was guessing what to do with the scheme and ended up just doing the #676767 background and the #ffffff text.
I'll do the text color change. Let me know if you need some other changes (e.g. results table colours).

Sweet!!

I have to play around with it for a bit to see if anything else sticks out. ;-)
