We need another category, for interpreters, game engines, maybe game servers,
game server queries, and other utilities that aren't the whole game, or that
require the original game. Perhaps, games-utils. dMagetic requires an original
game, as does scummvm for many popular games.
The games category is crowded, and it makes sense to have a full category for
games-text. Let games-text be a secondary category for game components that are
also mainly game utilities. Eventually games-utils will need a full category of
its own.
These directly below are for starting on games-utils, not games-text.
