dont you guys think this is all mixed?? Xmame fits in the Emulators category, Xmame is not a game! you could put kof 99 or some xmame games, but they dont run in linux, THEY RUN ON XMAME!!!
then, there are much 3D games in this section, and why they arent in the 3d action games section??? i dont understand

XMAME has been removed from this category. It had 9 votes for it, which have been discarded.

Maelstrom, whose graphics and sound are non-free, has been moved to the Non-Free Arcade category.
