I put it to you that they are not excellent promotion for Emacs, and that we are better served by having fewer but better games. I suggest that we either remove some of them from the "Tools -> Games" menu, or obsolete them outright. Here are the ones that I don't think pass the bar: - 5x5.el - blackbox.el - gomoku.el - pong.el - solitaire.el I also ask if these games/libraries are really pulling their weight: - animate.el - handwrite.el - studly.el
