I have added a new config file called games.properties,
in which the available games are listed with comments
about the status of each one.
The file contains a short comment (Note) and a long one (Description).
The Note is added to the game name in the dropdown (it must be separated
by at least one space - the game name is retrieved by truncation at the
first space).
The Description is too long to fit there, and was intended to appear as a
tooltip,
but that does not work.
(To make the tooltip, I changed the text into a JLabel,
subclassed to have toString() return the label text,
and put the description as a tooltip into that label.
It seems the JComboBox suppresses the tooltips of its components).
Unless someone finds a way to use the Description text,
it could stay as a comment in the config file.
