Re: RT11 / RSTS-E games
I obviously have done something wrong when moving files about etc. Hence
depending on which way you get there, they may not link.
For now all the games I have are available here:

thanks

Try

Nice catch.
Thanks!

While not DEC specific don't forget about 101 Basic computer games:

Most aren't that great but there are a few interesting ones to play with.

Right.
And maybe not DEC-specific, but definitely DEC-related as the book was
originally published by DEC, and Dave Ahl was working at DEC when he
wrote it, and I think BASIC+ was the dialect used.

There are numerous mentions in that edition of different systems,
RSTS/E, EduSystem 15, 20, 30, 35, 50, and the odd DECsystem-10. One
example, the header for the run for "AMAZIN" says "EDUSYSTEM 30".
I learned a lot about system differences and porting to different
environments when I had a copy of the DEC edition of this book in 1978
and only a 4K Commodore PET at the main library to work on. My first
attempt at typing in a program failed dismally because I didn't yet
know that Microsoft BASIC preferred ":" as a statement separator and
DEC BASIC used "\" (then there was RANDOMIZE and several other
dialectical differences, and beyond that, trying to fit 72-column
outputs on a 40 column machine).
Very educational once I got past the initial stumbles. I typed in a
wad of programs from that book.
