Can we add a section like:

+ Need to know language:

<English, Japanese, French, etc>

For example, I'd like to know before I download an adventure
filled with Japanese text that I won't be able to play, since
I can't read Japanese.

I agree!!  Keep it simple!  The object is to get people to the game

file links would be confusing, IMHO.
