[SOLVED] three new games in my application menu

i just discovered three strange games in my application menu:
Block Attack!
Checkers
Sudoku

i did not installed them and cannot find out where they come from. their entries
in /usr/share/applications date to 2019-03-11, but checking pacman log there's
nothing like this to see.
its a bit scary! does anybody have a clue where they might come from? i recently
enabled multilib for the first time but don't think this is related.

if it's of importance, i use xfce desktop.

check the string "games" in your pacman.log, if you install applications by using pacman (and not a manual installation like "sudo make install") then don't worry

Note you can also always ask pacman directly, e.g.:

pacman -Qo /usr/share/applications/Checkers.desktop
