Here's what probably amounts to a silly question:
I'm looking for some of the classic VMS games, such as the ones mentioned in the "unhackable" article - VAXtrek,Doomsday 2000, Moria 4.81, Battlestar, Dungeon, Hack, Rogue, ZK and the like. Given that most of the machines at this time were corporate owned, it's unlikely that all of them were proprietary games, but it is very difficult to track them down, especially as I'm not really sure what I am looking for. Are any of these still available, or all off-the-market commercial software? |

Some are available online at http://wopr.adelphos.org/systems/wopr.html. The sources of quite a few can be found at http://www.decuslib.com/decus/vax_games/ .
Dungeon and ZK are available from the VMS Freeware CD v4, online at http://www.digiater.nl/openvms/freeware/v40/dungeon/ and http://www.digiater.nl/openvms/freeware/v40/zk/ , respectively.
Enjoy,

I remember being hooked on a game we used to play in on a Vax 11/780 in school that I think was called Galaxy. It was a text based multi-user game like Star Trek. It was around 1987 or so.. I would really love to find this game... |
