Cool. Thanks. Downloaded and unpacket.
Anyone interested and on HECnet can now find them on MIM::DU:[101GAMES]
Looked a little at one or two files. BASIC+2 do not like them. The code
uses special shorts, functions and specifics that don't match.
I wonder if BASIC+ accepts them either, or if this might be from some
other BASIC dialect that DEC had at some point.
If I have plenty of time at some point, I might sit down and write a
converter for them to BASIC+2 style.

Since the disk pack contains basic sorces, this could also probably
be used on rsx systems, but then we need a different file system.
Care to create a disk in rt11 format, since that is pretty much the
common file system that all oses have tools to read/write?
An RT-11 format RL01 with the 56 files from the DECtape is in a zip file at
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hXBmOUL_dNQaYP6qH9vQ8VVe0KrLoNut/view?usp=sharing
When trying it on other systems be aware that in some of the BASIC-Plus
source files there are continuation lines prefixed by <LF><CR> line
endings (normal lines have <CR><LF>).
Also (in case you're wondering) there are only 56 files - since this was
the maximum number of files that would fit on a DOS-11 format DECtape.
Was there a second DECtape with the remaining games from the book? If
not, one of these days when i get a round tuit - I should type them in!
Have fun!

Ok thanks for the verification. I'll download and unzip again.
Attached pic is the PDP emulator on the VT100 at CCH.
Sorry about the mix-up with RSTS disk formats. I knew it was
different for older versions.
I've just made a RSTS level 0.0 format RL01 disk image so you
can use this on older versions of RSTS/E (verified and written
using RSTS/E V7.0-07). You can get a zip file containing this at
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15iRczp1kYITHuH6zYNImtZgtguw_g66V/view?usp=sharing
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/15iRczp1kYITHuH6zYNImtZgtguw_g66V/view?usp=sharing>
and I also added it (rl01-games-rsts0-0.dsk) to the original zip
file that I shared.
If anyone needs this on an RK05 image to run under older
versions of RSTS/E (like V4B or V06C) - e-mail me privately (or
use the DECtape image which I know also works)!
And to Mark Abene - yes I think the book from bitsavers was an
early version of the book by Dave Ahl - before he left DEC to
start Creative Computing magazine.
