Fun stuff that should be relatively easy (if not already) supported:

 Reversi -- exists now; a LOT of people from the Mac world who move to
the NeXT know this one... especially at the college student level.  And
it runs _a hell of a lot_ faster than most macs (i was able to play at
nearly the most difficult level in finite time).

 MandelZOT -- runs buttloads faster than its mac counterpart.  Printing
may be a problem. CLUT animation will lose-- but the calculation demo
woul dbe excellent.

 It's been so long since I've been in the mac freeware world i can't
remember what's out there.

BTW: are there any quick instructions available on ftp'ing something
from the mac archives and installing it in Executor....
