I'd love some of the programs off of David Ahl's DECtapes... I have my
SBC6120 with me, but the games image only has a handful of programs.
For starters, how about Chemist, Chief and Hammurabi? I don't have my
copy of "BASIC Computer Games" with me, so I'm hard pressed to remember
titles.
Long ago, I used to convert EDUsystem BASIC programs to PET BASIC. I had
more success with some than others. I did manage to port the 72-column
Star Trek game (with three-character wide ships in the short-range display)
to the PET. I played that one for hours and hours.
