I agree with Richard and Silviu. We need games, no question. Both installed by 
default - and more on the discs and on ftp.

Freeciv, Frozen-Bubble and Supertux are untouchable I think.

In addition I think we should have kmines, some card game(s), a chess game, 
lbreakout2 and Metal Blob Solid - Blob Wars (it's a very nice shoot'em up, 
arcade style game, http://www.parallelrealities.co.uk/blobWars.php). Ksudoku 
might also be a good idea - I don't know about the rest of the world - but 
sudoku has been very big in Denmark the last year or so.

However including all Kgames in standard installation would be overdoing it I 
think.

I very much like the feature of a 3D game installed by default, for testing 
purposes etc. Xmoto is fine I guess, and so was gl-117 - but Racer (Racing 
simulator, http://racer.nl), Glest (RTS, http://www.glest.org/en/index.html) 
or Cube (FPS, http://www.cubeengine.com) would be a lot more impressive and 
they'd prove a point about Linux gaming. But of course they'd also take up 
more space.
