Idea #4183: Don't make gnome games dependent on each other

Description

The default gnome games for solitaire, minesweeper, etc are really the best out there, but I hate that if I remove one game through "Add/Remove Programs" it removes all of them! Why?

This will not only confuse, but also really annoy most users. A reason should at least be given. I know there are easy ways around this, but most average users are going to want to use the easy package manager... I mean, that's what it's there for right?

It is really silly that a person cannot remove one of Gnome's games without removing the whole package!

I totally agree.

Agree.
I like one or two, the rest of them, are junk.

+1

would also save space on the CD, by removing a few of them

+1 Just like programad said

It's because all of GNOME's games are in one package (gnome-games), and for some reason the Add/Remove application groups them separately. I agree, they should really be packaged separately.

I agree too.

IMHO Add/Remove should just show them as a group.

ya, thats a good idea.
i dont have anything against these programmes, but... they are a little bit primitive according to PRESENT games, f.ex. COD4? or BF1942. seeing these games on my system makes me laugh. it would be better to make some games which are more "in"...

it would be also better not to have 'em on default-installed sys.
