My suggestions, based off /usr/games from 2.2.5-R Sub packages: bsdmisc -- somewhat useful tools/toys/misc programs bsdgames -- general bsd style games bsdadventure -- bsd text adventure games bsdlegacy -- bsd 'not really games, rather useless programs now' Perhaps splitup 'bsdgames' a little more, based off general types.. *shrug* Note the keyword 'like' we should use when referring to games of TM nature. When 'mv ??' is seen, I'm not sure if we should change its name or not (is it copyright?), and if so, to what name?
