Three very fine games that run on mono are

  chess.prg (from germany, edited for english by Brent McKim)
            (includes an icon editor)

  puzzlepuzzle (from germany - shareware)
  
  pool.prg


These are very good mono games.  The chess progam alone is enough to
justify a mon monitor (and remember, you need a mono monitor to use
the magic sac)

I have first hand experience of the following games on my monochrome ST:

    breakout (arcade game)
    cadenza (checkers)
    hack (rogue-like game, v 1.0.3)
    larn (rogue-like game)
    megaroids (asteroids arcade game)
    ogre (tank warfare game)

As far as I know, all but the first are PD.  I'm sure there are others
floating around; I've heard that 'pool' and 'chess' work on monochrome, but
I haven't tried them myself.
