I'd like to see these removed only if nobody is willing to maintain them. Check lines 70-75 of src/games/larn/main.c for an example of how out of touch they are with what's considered to be good practice (5 buffer overflows in 6 lines of code). Merging in NetBSD and/or OpenBSD's changes would be a good place to start. I think rogue, hack, primes, fortune and worm are worth keeping, but I don't have the time or patience to maintain them.
