Subject: OpenVMS/Alpha Games?
I'm trying to get a selection of games that will
work on a Serial Terminal
up and running on my OpenVMS server (a PWS 433au running OpenVMS 7.2-1H1).
I have a Space Invaders clone game (can't think of the name) that runs on
VMS and plays on
a VTxxx terminal (Not X based). I'll dig it out.
I'm finding that most games that are available for
VMS date back to
VAX/VMS
V3 or earlier. Does anyone know of any besides the
following that will
work?
Advent 4.0A - Native
Dungeon 3.2B - Native
Empire 4.0 - Native
NetHack 3.3.1 - Native
Moria 4.5 - Vested
Rogue 3.0 - Vested (doesn't seem to display right)
King - Native
Spacwr - Native (very old Star Trek game)
Spacemine - Native (Ported from an old book of Basic Games I've had
for about 20 Years)
Angband 2.8.0 - Native (but requires DECwindows)
I'm really looking for copies of the following
that will work on an Alpha
running OpenVMS:
I'd be interested in copies of anything for native VMS/Vax (currently 6.x)
Angband (that will work on a serial terminal)
Rogue (a version that works right)
zcode emulator
Decent Star Trek game
DND
Moria 4.8 or 5.0
Newer version of Empire
Conquest
I'm also interested in any other good ones that I might not know about.
Ditto.
