Why not cover everything? If we don't, where do we draw the line? There are lots of COMMERCIAL basic games, some of them are not that great. If we list those and collect covers for them, why not the amateur stuff, which are in some cases better?
Basic games and Freeware games are clearly marked as such... What's the worst thing that could happen? Maybe some people will be inspired to actually sit down and code on this machine again!
About Lando's basic Tom Thumb Tune: it's up to you to actually release it or not. I myself have written smaller things (some of them may even be in machine code) that never got released. But I say, as long as someone releases something, let's host it.
Until someone does something like what Luca said: one line "programs" 
But then again: what if in the future we might have a small compo held at a party, and the task is to code something cool from just one basic line? Or should we cut off some of these programs because of size? Then what about Gaia's 17 bytes? Ah, too many questions.
