I don't think I had the sources, just a .EXE, so that may not work so well

Now THAT is interesting! I wonder where it went to?

It is probably possible to translate the VAX executable to an Alpha executable
using VEST. The DECMIGRATE license included in the VMS hobbyist license
allows VEST to run.
Back in the day, it was sometimes easier to do this than to fix VAX MACRO
source that had too many VAXish assumptions to compile it on Alpha.

There's a Rogue for the Alpha Micro. I don't have source for it either, but it
runs very well.

I do have some backup TK50 cartridges that *may* cover that era.
First I need to dig out a system with a TK50/TK70 drive on it and see if
it still works.
Then I'll need to go through the cartridges I do have and archive them.
Whether the old games made it out of university with me or not is
another matter.
Ping me again in a month or so to see how far I've got !
