See games section[1].
For short:
- GTK 2.0 based is ok, but not GNOME based
- SDL games are ok
- do not require perl, python or C++ runtime (or other runtimes that
are not included in DI)
- simpleand addictive games.
- footprint not too big ;-)

Unfortunately frozen-bubble does not qualify because of the perl runtime.
Does anybody know a reimplementations in C?

That might be applicable for the text based version, but not for the
graphical installer ;-)

GTK 1.2 is not ok
