There's M-x zone, a bunch of games - anything from Tetris and Bubbles to Zork, morse code handling (M-x morse-region, unmorse-region), inserting interesting phrases for NSA spooks... There's a lot.

There's also nyan-mode, made by yours truly, but unfortunately it does not ship with Emacs by default :).

Who do we have to lobby to get nyan-mode into emacs mainline? Happy to send a recommendation email.

Was surprised how high quality the repo is, too!

https://github.com/TeMPOraL/nyan-mode

It even has an accompanying blog post, which I found informative. http://jacek.zlydach.pl/blog/2011-08-25-introducing-nyan-mod...

And even a Show HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2906632

Thank you for your kind words. I wouldn't call it high-quality, though. I wrote this back when I barely knew how to wield Lisp or use Emacs. I've gained much more experience in both since then; I keep promising myself that one of these days, I'll clean it up and make it a stellar little mode...

As for getting it into mainline, I'd be OK with going through the FSF copyright paperwork, but I worry this will probably fail over the uncertain status of Nyan Cat image/music IP...
