Actually, Professor Timo Salmi's game collections are quite good.  My daughter
actually prefers them to other games that I have found.  They are either
in *.arc or *.zip archive formats and the collections are TSGAME, TSGMEB,
TSGMEC, TSGMED, and TSGMEE available at chyde.uwasa.fi and simtel20.army.mil.

Try the flag game and quiz and think it was from TSGMED.  (Timo the error
in the flags that I mentioned several months ago was a mental problem on
my part--the national flags of Bahrain and Qatar are nearly identical.) 
My daughter likes the Tower of Hanoi puzzle and Hangman.  The latter has
a skill level option that allows you to have the gallows pre-built.

Some of the other "games" in his collections should be classified as education-
al utilities rather than games.  Particularly, the vocabulary "games".  Timo
has provided a test utility--you provide the vocabulary file for the particular
language you wish to study.  Nice!
