I haven't mentioned the name of the program, just the object on the screen. 
But i agree to use your proposed short description.

I don't think it should be linked with Gnome somehow. Xscreensaver is almost 
standard part of every usual desktop installation, at least for Gnome/KDE, 
and it is in Required.

Well, no. Actually the original source tarball is consisting of some set of 
historic games which can be easily extended/replaced by user.
