But the real issue is that it would take an enormous number of man-
hours to take a screenshot of every single room in every single

Yes, exactly, it is a mammoth task, but I am willing to undertake it.
In fact, I have been taking screenshots of every room in every game I
have played so far, so I am quite advanced in this endeavour.

Now, if I had to do this, I'd try to automate as much of the process
as possible.

i) JSWED can take a snapshot and render all its rooms, one at a time.
ii) JSWED can save PNG files.

So what I'd do is extend JSWED to render each room in turn to a PNG file.
