Not sure what to tell you other than check your file spelling, as the games you mention are in the database, Hexen 2 is under its correct name of Hexen II for example.

2 of the 3 games you listed on our the website already. We don't have a way to use another DB in our app but there are other tools like Skraper that can be used to scrape your games if you like. Alternatively if you find a game missing you can add it to the DB yourself.

I guess it would be vital that you put that in a notice in the metadata editing window, that if you can't find a match, to go on your website (which has better wildcard and related games matching) e.g. Jazz 2 instead of Jazz Jackrabbit 2, gog names this game differently on file and it was not auto-matched.
