 The launch of the GNOME and KDE desktop projects in the late 1990s organized application and, to a certain extent, game development.Both attempts to create a more usable Linux desktop attracted volunteers to make utilities to that end.These programs included games, mostly recreations of small games like "Minesweeper" or "Solitaire" that come with Microsoft Windows, arcade classics and the like, games from combined packs such as the Microsoft Windows Entertainment Pack, and occasionally original ideas.
