[HECnet] VMS games?

[Hans Vlems]

I wrote a couple, like Mastermind, naval battle and a word guessing game (lingo, after a tv quiz), for my kids.  
Written in Pascal, for Dutch speaking users.  
I have Canfield (Klondike)      running on eisner.

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.
