[ What exactly do you mean by "better games"? Do you mean to say that
they should look visually interesting? ]

I never properly checked out 5x5 but it looks like really interesting.
I never understood blackbox however.
Gomoku and solitaire are both standard puzzle games. I was very pleased
to know that my childhood pastime was included in Emacs, I suggest we
don't obsolete them. (Solitaire in particular is a very rewarding
game.)
Pong is unfortunately too choppy for me to play it.
