"VGA Planets" was really nice, I played it ages ago in DOS. But the "Gnome
War Pad" entry at the Linux Game Tome says, that you need a version of
"VGA Planets", either shareware or the registered, to play. Is this still
true with the current release? If so, it can't go into main, but only
in the contrib section.
