What about a top down racing game where the map moves around a fixed player? Or something like falldown for the TI-83+

Battleships, pacman (sort of), breakout, minesweeper.

breakout is perfect except that I've already made a breakout :(

minesweeper is hard because, get this, my engine doesn't really support "clicking" for reasons that will be obvious to you soon lol

Snake? As in old school Nokia Snake. The grid's implicit but maybe fits the bill?

pacman?

What about dots and boxes? That game where you draw a point grid and then each person takes turns putting horizontal or vertical lines between the dots until they claim a box.

pokemon is technically on a grid but it's not prominent to the eye

Not a video game, but any matching/memory game played with cards. Except that's basically One Million Checkboxes in pairs, whether the goal is to clear the field or (perhaps more fun) avoid clearing the field.
