Are you trying to recreate that experience and play games you did
play, or are you looking for games you can play now?
Kind of both. What I'm looking to do is to have in my homebrew BBS (which
is a museum in itself) a RSTS "door" with the largest number of good old
DEC games I can find.
I have 2.52 version of Dungeon
That's definitely missing some features (puzzles) from later versions.
I don't recall what does and doesn't backport from the VMS-era
versions.
I used to have 1.2b. This one at least has the end game. I compiled it
in RT11 using the instructions here:

I'd love even newer version...
and a version of Star Trek.
Essential!
Anyone got anything else?
If you are looking for games you _can_ play, a couple of years ago at
VCFe, I hacked one of the RT-11 Z-Machines to run on RSTS/E (it needed
one extra system call to do with memory allocation) so we could play
Zork, Planetfall, etc., on Dave McGuire's PDP-11/70. If you wanted
that I could try to dig it up. You just need a fistful of .Z3 files
to play, then.
That would be OUTSTANDING, as I was going to do that via some Ruby code
that I
found that doesn't quite work. It would be even cooler to have it
on the PDP!
I also used to have a number of RT-11 games when I was
in front of a
PDP-11 every day. I know I have them on an RL01 pack...
I'd love to have those as well! Thanks in advance for your help!
