Well, I agree that command-line games are something special. I think that providing a desktop or menu file for such games is not different from graphical games though. You just need to add Terminal=true to your desktop file. The main benefit is that people are more aware of the games and don't forget about them and it's always nice to have some kind of visual feedback. However I see the difficulties with packages like bsdgames. I think it's up to the maintainer to decide which games he wants to add or not because there are simply to many of them in this package.
