+heroes (2d arcade style game)
+
+Heroes is similar to the "Tron" and "Nibbles" games of yore, but
+includes many graphical improvements and new game features. In it,
+you must maneuver a small vehicle around a world and collect powerups
+while avoiding obstacles, your opponents' trails, and even your own
+trail.
+
+The game starts in fullscreen mode when called with no arguments.
+Pressing Alt+Enter will toggle between fullscreen and windowed, and
+you can pass the -W option to start in windowed mode (the .desktop
+file does this already).
+
+To play with the joystick, you have to set the player 1 controls to
+Joystick in the menu. Should be obvious, but the in-game menus are
+kinda hard to read...

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.
+# Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and
+# the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.
+# You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
