Package:  emacs
Severity: minor

	As of 84b50168 [1], C-h p C-s games RET lists only a few games
	of those coming with Emacs:

  Package            Version      Status ▼   Archive    Description
  dunnet             2.1          built-in              text adventure for Emacs
  gamegrid           1.2          built-in              library for implementing grid-based games on Emacs
  tetris             2.1          built-in              implementation of Tetris for Emacs

[1] http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=84b50168

	As it seems, package-show-package-list is given all the games
	found, yet it fails to render them in the resulting *Packages*
	buffer, perhaps because of them missing the Version: metadata.

	As per M-x trace-function-background:

1 -> (package-show-package-list (zone tetris studly spook solitaire snake pong mpuz morse meese life landmark hanoi gomoku gametree gamegrid fortune dunnet doctor dissociate decipher cookie1 bubbles blackbox animate 5x5))
1 <- package-show-package-list: #<buffer *Packages*>

	I no longer observe the issue (as of 2014-11-18 build,
	cb4f666ade76.)  Per my reading of the Git log, it was fixed
	(as Bug#16762) in the emacs-24 branch back this March:

commit 3e2377ce2f4eeb141ffbd000723c55813f78b08f
Author:     Dmitry Gutov <dgutov <at> yandex.ru>
AuthorDate: Tue Mar 25 00:38:06 2014 +0200
Commit:     Dmitry Gutov <dgutov <at> yandex.ru>
CommitDate: Tue Mar 25 00:38:06 2014 +0200

    Fix bug#16762
    
    * lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el (package--add-to-archive-contents):
    Include already installed and built-in packages in
    `package-archive-contents'.
    (package-install): Don't include already installed packages in the
    options on interactive invocation.
