Codemasters and a few others denied the distribution. Of course. We can
check each game against WoS for sure. Ideally, we could make a real database
with online connection to WoS database. (Who knows, everything can be done.

I think these games can be counted, since you simply can't load a
tape/snapshot file into an emulator and play it without any changes.
Personally I think they should be kept separated from "native" Sam
programs - I don't want to perpetuate the notion that the Sam was only
good for playing Spectrum games. But it probably is useful to preserve the
games which had to be changed in some way to make them run.
However, if they are made available for download on samcoupe.org, then
it's probably best to distribute only the ones which are already available
through worldofspectrum - at least a couple of the ones in Wolfgang's list
are by CodeMasters who have denied distribution, for example.
