Yes good question, I need to fix trackballs too, I gess logic and
puzzles is the best choice, shall we put both of them (trackballs and
neverball) there?

Arcade is very crowded, so I would say action. My rule kinda is:
If it isn't a straight forward clone of an arcade game -> action.
The mean reason for this is because for a while I've focused on
packaging true arcade clones and even with games-menus installed my
arcade menu has scroll arrows (I still need to recategorize some
packages, hopefully that will help).
