Well, just to be clear, C-h p C-s games RET RET results in the
following list on Emacs 24.3.1.
5x5 built-in simple little puzzle game
animate built-in make text dance
blackbox built-in blackbox game in Emacs Lisp
bubbles built-in Puzzle game for Emacs
cookie1 built-in retrieve random phrases from
fortune cookie files
decipher built-in cryptanalyze monoalphabetic
substitution ciphers
dissociate built-in scramble text amusingly for Emacs
doctor built-in psychological help for frustrated
users
dunnet 2.1 built-in text adventure for Emacs
fortune built-in use fortune to create signatures
gamegrid 1.2 built-in library for implementing
grid-based games on Emacs
gametree built-in manage game analysis trees in Emacs
gomoku built-in Gomoku game between you and Emacs
hanoi built-in towers of hanoi in Emacs
landmark built-in neural-network robot that learns
landmarks
life built-in John Horton Conway's `Life' game

meese built-in protect the impressionable young
minds of America
morse built-in convert text to morse code and back
mpuz built-in multiplication puzzle for GNU Emacs

zone built-in idle display hacks
To me, the failure of the recent development version to show the
above seems like a regression, regardless of the particulars.
If the change made to package.el was indeed intended, then my
guess is that it should’ve been complemented with the changes to
all of the packages above to make them fit the newly imposed
criteria for inclusion.
