Helping Ubuntu with Games

There are a number of tasks that need to be done to make Ubuntu a better gaming platform:

• MOTUGames - The Masters of the Universe games team, who maintain the games in Ubuntu
• MOTUNewGames - for listing any games you would like to see in Ubuntu

• UniverseGamesWithoutDesktopFile - making certain all games in Ubuntu show up in the menu
