-Any game listed after the keyword ``game'' will set parameters for a specific
-game. Entries consist of five white-space separated fields: the keyword
-``game'', the name of a game, the highest system load average at which the
-game may be played, the maximum users allowed if the game is to be played,
-and the priority at which the game is to be run. Any of these fields may
-start with a non-numeric character, resulting in no game limitation or
-priority based on that field. The game "default" controls the settings for
-any game not otherwise listed, and must be the last ``game'' entry in the
-file. Priorities may not be negative. For example, the following entries
-limits the game ``hack'' to running only when the system has 10 or less
-users and a load average of 5 or less; all other games may be run any time
-the system has 15 or less users.
