Wow! Looks like the game selection for the default installation I did
in the past was not that wrong. :-)

Another vote for lbreakout2. :-)

"Lost connection to MySQL server during query". Hmm, is there already

The same in Germany. We should consider to add this package to
KDE-Games pattern.

Sure.

Racer has been dropped a long time ago (see Wishlist for reasons),
Glest is simply to big and Cube is a 1st person shooter, which we
don't want to ship on our distribution for legal reasons. Otherwise we
might lose the right to ship "non-rated" games for the future.
