[Simh] 101 Basic Games for RSTS/E (was Re: PDP11 on Simh for public access)

[Will Senn]

Clem and others,

Thanks for the links and information. I would like to see even more of 
the tapes and books from the early days made available (most modern 
stuff is brought to life in the digital era and captured, but the old 
stuff mostly only lives in notebooks, booklets, books, binders and tapes 
that individuals possess). Thankfully, there's been a lot collected over 
the years, but there's plenty still out there in jeopardy of not being 
preserved. The 101 games book in bitsavers is great (the tape's even 
better), but it's only one of many editions. Also, in my reading up on 
this stuff, it appears that there was a DEC EDU newsletter before the 
book, where're those? If y'all have them or something like them in your 
basements, get them scanned before they rot away - or send them to 
someone who will scan them in, these things are getting scarce and are 
part of our (computing folks) historical record.

Regards,

Will
