I could not find an entry in the AppDB for this application.

There is an entry for version 1 of this game and it looks like it has
the same problem

This one might be in the AppDB but it is unclear which version you
tested.[2] It looks like it runs (if it is installed in windows) but the
"Mouse always Recentered" bug makes it unplayable.

CC:ing  the maintainer of these apps...

If you won't create an AppDB entry for the other two applications at
least tell me what distribution you are using so I can create entries.
