Nothing is lost! The code is still there and it's almost working. We just need
to last mile (and even if some games will arrive later, the code won't disappear).

Thanks for the notes about testing! They will be useful for sure. Just a note
about palapeli:

It crashes directly at startup, related to some code which was not ported. Not
related for sure to kbuildyscoca. In any case, you will see the commit when
this is fixed :)
