I'm sorry, but this has nothing to do with logic. I had a fixed release
date on the Games Knoppix homepage so I had to finish the CD until 6.12.

The Games Knoppix allows usage of the Nvidida and ATI drivers. The KDE
language support has been removed (for languages other than english),
some packages other than games have been added/changed (irssi instead
of ircci, openvpn added, joystick configuration tool added).

No, it's the Knoppix 3.7 with the exception of some bugfixed that were
implemented by Klaus during the last one or two weeks. This nasty
Java bug, for example, isn't fixed (I'll do this for the next release).

Then take the "serious" Version. The Games Knoppix will become during
time what's promised in her name. The direction and target group is
different to that of the Knoppix.
