And let's not forget MOS 401167.1 that implies that the games package is a
requirement for a supported OL installation for the Oracle DB.  A few years
ago, a colleague was told by Support that he needed to install that before
they'd help troubleshoot Oracle on his OL server (OL5, I think).

Games.  And I thought playing Guild Wars was just for fun and not a job
requirement to install my Enterprise database software...
