[ 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.
