Your locale cannot represent the names of all the supported games.

If you are intentionally using a language-neutral locale, please prefer
C.UTF-8 (available since jessie).

g-d-p could cope with this better, although it's really more a question
of "Python could cope with this better":
<https://bugs.python.org/issue19846>

As a workaround, you can set the PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable
to something like "utf8" or ":replace":

PYTHONIOENCODING=:replace game-data-packager --help
