What are the default games that come with a desktop installation? [closed]

Solution 1:

  • Mahjongg
  • Sudoku
  • AisleRiot Solitaire
  • FreeCell Solitaire
  • Mines

These are the ones my fresh installation of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS came with.

Edit: Here's an article on some of the games Ubuntu used to ship with.

If I understand, you're asking which games are currently installed? I'm not sure what is otherwise meant unless you're just curious (in which case, the question in too open-ended see FAQ).

For Ubuntu 12.04
Use the Ubuntu Software Center, choose installed packages from the top menu, and sort for games by clicking its drop-down menu in the results pane. To install more games, the same as above - but obviously skip the first step and DO NOT click the installed button on top.

For previous versions with Synaptic Package Manager
Choose installed from the left-sidebar. In the quick filter box at the top, type "games" and click search. To search for more games, click not-installed from the left-sidebar, and type "games" in the quick filter box at the top.

A link to another question that probably belongs in the Wiki: what-native-games-are-available as it borders on asking for shopping recommendations.
