VMS, as well as the hardware it runs on, was a relatively expensive in its
day.   VMS systems were NOT purchased for games play.   There are games that
were produced and submitted to DECUS, but there's never been any definitive
packaging thereof.

Check the DECUSlib.COM site for games.

I'm aware of that but people still liked to have fun when management wasn't watching :)

  Not as much as one might think in that world, in most environments.

There's even games on z/OS I think...

  A few, yes.   But it certainly isn't the whole "oh yes, and it's a computer
too, but we never use it for that" attitude like most 1980s eight-bitters.
