Re: 44 orphaned games in unstable

Hey tere,

As discussed on IRC, I'm quite interested in saving old games. I'm still learning whata "packaging" is, but I think we 
must save them all ;o)

I'm actually working on blobwars which seems working perfectly. I'm trying to close its old bugs too.


Mindiell,
