Rosanne, I understand your reasons and I'm not asking the page to come back,
I'm just putting some extra points.

The page was not updated because most of the research was made by a single
person AFAIK, and also because MS phased out DirectPlay for developers in 2007,
so no games will be using it for a long time now.

That page is still particularly important because of the research made to
detect the versions required for each game, this will make it easier to find
where to test changes if we ever implement DirectPlay.

In 2009 a GSoC student name Ismael Barros worked at it and produced a series of
patches (repo.or.cz/w/wine/gsoc_dplay.git).

https://appdb.winehq.org/viewbugs.php?bug_id=4066 is less technical but at
least has a list of the games that depend on DirectPlay.
