Well, to get 15000 cd's out there, hell ya! So we need to strip the desktop to 
the bone and then very carefully select games based on size.

I would like to nominate:
-The floppy editions of beneath-a-steal-sky (10 Mb) think lucas film arts
  games like maniac mansian, definetively worth it if you ask me.
-quake3 (3Mb), vavoom (4Mb) (they are small through using auto-downloader, yes
  I'm a cheater)
-worminator (platform shootem-up crossover, only 0.5 Mb)
-KoboDeluxe (1 Mb)
-raidem (7 Mb) very good 2d top-down shoot'em up like 1942, raptor, etc.
-crystal-stacker, Falling blocks, match 3 or more of the same color crystals (1
  Mb)
-fbg, falling block, classics (1.3 Mb)
-freeciv (12 Mb)
-methane, like bubbles and bobbles (2 Mb)
-njam, like pacman (4 Mb)
-lacewing, cool!  (2 Mb)
-ballbuster, a brick buster (2 Mb)
-clanbomber (2 Mb)
-scorchwentbonkers, try it (2 Mb)
-stormbaancoureur, car racing (4 Mb)
-machineball (4 mb)
-xgalaxy, xgalaga renamed (1 Mb)

Maybe:
-asc, strategic game (12 Mb)
-duel3, ... (7 Mb)
-supertuxkart, cool but .. (36 Mb)
-pinball (7 Mb)
-seahorse-adventures (try it) (4 Mb)
-auriferious, like loderunner (20 Mb)


Also I'll try to get:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250735
Resolved asap, that will save us arts and qt, unless we want kde stuff.

Regards,

Hans
