	Hi;

	I was looking under the gentoo 'games*' hierarchy and there
were just about 1000 entries, so there are lots of potential
linux posibilities. But I will only mention 3 games I have enjoyed
recently, that arent very 'twitchy', namely frozen bubble, lbreakout2,
and fish fillets. (the later of which was recommended to me by a 20
something)
