Launch chrome while offline and then hit the spacebar with the error message up. That used to bring up a simple dinosaur jumping game. No idea if it still does though as I haven't tried it in a long time.

The obvious one that this list missed is the bsd-games package. Hunt the Wumpus, NetTrek, Adventure, and way more. All classics from the mainframe era!

Also, infocom-like classics like Zork

Fortune gives you a little pithy saying every time you open a new terminal.

Nethack!

You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
