Some games would be great!
Last January I was wearing my Plan 9 t-shirt when we had people
over for Chinese New Year. One of my wife's co-workers asked me
why I was wearing a shirt commemorating a dead OS.
At this year's party he was a little bored, so I let him play
Andrey's sokoban... after he was solidly hooked I asked him which
OS he thought he was using. That was *much* more persuasive than
my verbal assurances of the year before that Plan 9 is still a
going concern.
Two which would be cool: there's an open-source re-implementation
of Sid Meier's Civilization; also, an Empire client might be fun.

I do admit to booting up plan9 under qemu to run sokoban
and mahjongg. I have played many versions of mahjongg and
i happen to like the plan9 implementation the most ;-)
Perhaps the games should be added to the startup for a default
user to make the OS more appealing to newbies like me ;-)
