The Nintendo Hard reference itself makes interesting reading..
I think Oolite scored that rating mostly for this Nintendo Hard quality..
lack of, or very few check points or save points
Since they seem to find docking so hard, they must have thought it was sheer Evil Genius™ to make it so you have to dock to save...

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

If they thought manual docking was hard in Oolite, then they should've tried manual docking in Elite, which didn't have that handy nav buoy sitting there as a reference point.

Funny you should say that. The Elite page gets the same reference for the exact same reason.

I've decided that the Curling on Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics is "Nintendo Hard" - the Wii team goes from inept to a three stone double kiss clearance on the last stone of the end every time.
Bilingual Bonus: Several of the advertising billboards found at navigation beacons and festooning certain types of space station are written in Spanish, German, or any number of other (predominantly Western European) languages.
Surely someone out there can do some Chinese or Japanese adverts? I think a HUGE billboard of an oriental lady holding a box of washing powder would be good!
Japanese advertising can be fun. Bright colours, strong fonts...perfect for shaders!

Lots of Pangloss's last 'verts were in Japanese I think - he even explained how he'd created the wording to be "correct".
Russian ads? More cyrillic English than anything else... not that I'd be able to read them if they were in Russian!
Well as I can't read Russian - I thought they were in Russian - I remember the debate about what the wording of the Astrolug would be in Russian for that particular station - thought the same had been done for the propaganda boards.
