[HECnet] New system online

[Supratim Sanyal]

Ah silly me - I am looking for the DODGEM and LIGHTCYCLE games and 
posted the following at comp.os.vms to no response, it looks like Johnny 
or someone here may have these, and if so, may I? Thanks in advance.

Hi all - David Wilkinson's Dodgem is listed in the DECUS catalog for The
VAX Library Collection 2 Version: 1992/1993. However I cannot find the
BASIC source or an EXE (or am I blind?)

Same for LIGHTCYCLE (i.e. cannot locate EXE or source).

Anyone has any pointers? There are youtube videos of folks playing them
on good old VT220s ...
