This page lists games that appear suitable for Debian, but which were not packaged either because nobody had the time or because nobody heard about it yet. After processing one of these games (evaluation of license, packaging), please move the corresponding entries to the appropriate wiki page: Games/[package_name] or Games/Unsuitable.

Please keep the list alphabetically sorted!

See Games/Links if you are looking for other possible new games. Also, don't forget to check Games/WNPP.

Other games that are missing from Debian can be found in the games blend tasks and in the list of packages removed from Debian.

Note: If you want to see the status of a bug, move your mouse over the bug number (e.g. RFP or ITP).

On the site Open Source Game Clones are some informations about open-source reimplementations of great old games.
