so I made an initial games cleanup list open for discussion. Please use this thread for discussion, and the wiki page[1] to add comments/games to the list.
Further note that most of the games have only a maintainer set for one architecture.
That's probably caused by the dashboard glitch that accidentally orphaned packages a while ago.
Two of the games are without maintainer and are only in one repo.
I should add that I don't know most (if any) of the games, so it may be that some games are popular.

It might be nice to know which ones are still working and building. I think that the 2 games which are not in x86_64 don't build anymore. Eventually, we'll need to rebuild them all to have the licence included in the package. If they don't build anymore and if there are no patches/fixes out there, it's no use to fix their licence in svn.

Hi!
When I was adding licenses last week I went through the games category. I know we don't have a lot of games in our repo (relatively), but some just seem to be there for historic purposes.
I'll start making a list of most ancient games for you to comment on which we can delete. That is, if nobody says something like 'please don't remove them, I like playing old games' :)
