If you look at the www.cbt.org you will many of those games,
OOPS, "Demonstration programs" or 3270 terminal training aids. I collected
many of them back in the 1970s, got permission to store them on an IBM 3850
MSS (wow 36GB of 100MB virtual IBM 3330s) and I could trade them off for
TSO commands. That is also the reason I gave the CBT tape the MVT compilers
for Fortran G, Fortran H, and PL1/F.  I know Sam Golob has all this stuff.
I remember things like WUMPUS, Lunar Lander, ROADRACE, LIZA, STARTREK, etc.

This was long before the Windows world packaged games as part of their
systems and sold management of the idea of using them to get folks more
comfortable with using the computer; stole another idea!!

Jim Marshall

p.s. I got many a TSO command or utility in trade for the entire collection
I had built.
