"A horrible person". That's what it says. "A horrible person."

We weren't even testing for that.

We definitely need some kind of policy on how company names are written.

For example, I've seen "Technos", "Technos Japan", "Technos Japan Corp.", and a similar amount of variants for other companies too, to the point where I no longer know what we consider correct.

I think, in this case, "Technos Japan" works, since it's specific enough to fully identify the company (cf. "American Technos") while leaving out the less important part (the "Corp.", or any other legal abbreviation in general.)

I guess consulting Mobygames or similar would be good to get the "proper" name of a company, but as I said, leaving off the abbreviation at the end might make be a little better.

That works for me. Just leave off whatever part normally gets abbreviated (or for odd cases like KONAMI INDUSTRY [whatever], just go by the popular name).

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
