Those are filename specifications used on systems with DECnet.
So no, you cannot generally, access them from your generic PC.
The filenames consist of a machine name, device, directory and filename
parts.
And you also need to be on the "right" DECnet in order to access them.
However, it's a easy way of give a reference to a file within a
DEC-centric world. Similar to giving an URL to reference a file over the
internet.
However, Mim also happens to be a machine on the internet, on which
anyone can log on. It's accessible as telnet:mim.update.uu.se, and you
can log in with username GUEST, with password GUEST

How do you read those references?
ie: MIM::SYS$GAMES: or PDXVAX::GAMES: ?
can I access this from my regular PC somehow?
or how will my vax access this?
The VAX/VMS version of DND can be found at PDXVAX::GAMES:
One of these days I'll get a few more games on there.

I have atleast ADVENT compiled and running under RSX. Should work
fine under RSTS/E as well.
Just check on MIM::SYS$GAMES:
