The games spin does. It doesn't have bsd-games, but does have rogue,
bombardier, nethack, ularn, and gnugo.

With only 32 MB the OP isn't going to be able to run any recent Fedora.

He'd be better off checking a distribution something targetting low memory
systems. If he finds a distro that will install, but doesn't have text
games, then grabbing the source of the games from Fedora's source rpms
might be useful.
