Hmm, would they work on P/OS ?? ANY GAMES for DEC Professional series ?
Any? Sure. ZEMU should work just fine under P/OS for one (well, maybe
you need to change one thing or two, and recompile it, but it I think
that the actual basic task, with no shared libraries and stuff should
just work as is as well).
Apart from that, I know I saw some weird graphic game for P/OS when I
worked at DEC in the 80s, which I've never seen since, but which I'd
like to find out more about. If I remember right, it was sortof a grid
base, on which you had a robot which you moved around, and which fought
others things. I'm very fuzzy on the details, since it was so long ago
since I saw it, and I never played it myself, only watched other playing it.
Looked cool though.
You might find some stuff in the DECUS library, and as long as you are
satisfied with text based stuff, almost anything for RSX will work as well.
