Well, just to be clear, C-h p C-s games RET RET results in the
following list on Emacs 24.3.1.
5x5 built-in simple little puzzle game
animate built-in make text dance
blackbox built-in blackbox game in Emacs Lisp
bubbles built-in Puzzle game for Emacs
cookie1 built-in retrieve random phrases from fortune cookie files
decipher built-in cryptanalyze monoalphabetic substitution ciphers
dissociate built-in scramble text amusingly for Emacs
doctor built-in psychological help for frustrated users
dunnet 2.1 built-in text adventure for Emacs
fortune built-in use fortune to create signatures
gamegrid 1.2 built-in library for implementing grid-based games on Emacs
gametree built-in manage game analysis trees in Emacs
gomoku built-in Gomoku game between you and Emacs
hanoi built-in towers of hanoi in Emacs
landmark built-in neural-network robot that learns landmarks
life built-in John Horton Conway's `Life' game for GNU Emacs
meese built-in protect the impressionable young minds of America
morse built-in convert text to morse code and back
mpuz built-in multiplication puzzle for GNU Emacs
pong built-in classical implementation of pong
snake built-in implementation of Snake for Emacs
solitaire built-in game of solitaire in Emacs Lisp
spook built-in spook phrase utility for overloading the NSA line eater
studly built-in StudlyCaps (tm)(r)(c)(xxx)
tetris 2.1 built-in implementation of Tetris for Emacs
yow built-in quote random zippyisms
zone built-in idle display hacks
To me, the failure of the recent development version to show the
above seems like a regression, regardless of the particulars.
If the change made to package.el was indeed intended, then my
guess is that it should’ve been complemented with the changes to
all of the packages above to make them fit the newly imposed
criteria for inclusion.
