They fail with: pygame.error: Unsupported image format In pygame documentation it's suggested to test pygame.image.get_extended to see if extended formats can be loaded (when it returns true), and in my checkings this is returning true.

*** Bug 183649 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Maybe it would work better if you actually emerged media-libs/sdl-image with appropriate use flags enabled (such as USE="gif jpeg png tiff")
Thank you Jakub. Then these games ebuilds obviously need to check whether sdl-image is built with these use flags. Shall I post an individual patch for each game?
Well, games folks are against adding more built_with_use checks to ebuilds, so I guess it wouldn't be particularly productive. You really cannot expect graphics support if you disable all these flags. :)
use default-linux/amd64/2007.0/desktop if you want to avoid these problems
All right. Thanks pals :)
