The ProblemThe Blackberry bold is going well for me but the one thing that I missed from my 8800 was the game Ka-Glom. It was seriously addictive.
In any case, I figured that I could just go to http://mobile.blackberry.com/ and get them again.. right? wrong...
It seems that the site doesn't properly recognize the Blackberry Bold and as a result, it doesn't offer any games for it.
The SolutionThe solution was easier than I expected, you just need to know the full path to the JAD files and enter it into your blackberry browser.
Be warned though, these games can be addictive and if you install all of them, you'll probably run out of space on your blackberry device.
Coping with ChangeAlso, Blackberry change the links sometimes when they reorganize their site. If the links don't work, find some free games there which DO have working links and then try their URLs with the .JAD file names listed below. You can also do a google search for specific files (eg: KaGlom.jad).
Anyway, without further ado, here are the links.
Ka-GlomThis is definitely my favourite blackberry game. It's very addictive and doesn't take a lot of concentration.
It's ideal for playing while you're listening to eBooks on the device.

Circle PopperI wasn't particularly interested in this game when I first got it but it gets better and better.

LingoUnfortunately, you can't listen to eBooks while playing this one. It requires a little thinking.

RoosterThis particular game has some minor graphics issues due to resolution changes. It works but I haven't yet figured out how to make the rooster go sideways.
