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.
