`ROCKT1.BA`    -101-  Another Lunar Lander Simulator. Written by Eric Peters, Digital. Thought lost.  Recovered from [Dave Gesswein's Archive](http://www.pdp8online.com/pdp8cgi/os8_html/ROCKT1.BA?act=file;fn=images/os8/diag-games-kermit.rk05;to=ascii;blk=570,8,1;plain=1).

`ROULET.BA`    -----  European Roulette Wheel game.  Written by David Joslin.  Converted to BASIC-PLUS by David Ahl, Digital.  Ported to OS/8 BASIC By Kay R. Fisher, DEC.  Thought lost. Recoverdd from [Dave Gesswein's Archive](http://www.pdp8online.com/pdp8cgi/os8_html/ROULET.BA?act=file;fn=images/os8/diag-games-kermit.rk05;to=ascii;blk=578,17,1;plain=1)

`SIGNS .BA`    --  Program to print posters by Daniel R. Vernon, Butler High School, Butler PA.  When I tested the program under OS/8 BASIC I kept getting `SU  AT LINE 00261` which is a Subscript out of Bounds error.

`SNOOPY.BA`    --  The old "Curse You Red Barron" Snoopy poster.
`SNOOPY.BA`    -----  The old "Curse You Red Barron" Snoopy poster.

`SPACWR.BA`    -101-  Space war game based on classic Star Trek.  Game written by Mike Mayfield, Centerline Engineering.

`TICTAC.BA`    -----  Play tic-tac-toe with the computer.  Simple version.  Thought lost.  Recovered from [Dave Gesswein's Archive](http://www.pdp8online.com/pdp8cgi/os8_html/TICTAC.BA?act=file;fn=images/os8/diag-games-kermit.rk05;to=ascii;blk=595,7,1;plain=1).

`WAR   .BA`    --  Corrupted file. To be replaced if possible.
`WAR   .BA`    -101-  Play the game of war against the computer.  Was thought lost.  Recovered from [Dave Gesswein's Archive](). However, that port to OS/8 BASIC contained a bug and could never run.  Line 230 defines the array for the cards. In OS/8 BASIC the maximum string size needed to be specified, as well as the number of strings.  230 DIM A$(52,3),L(54) will not accomodate the 10-value card.  The 3 needed to be a 4.  Program fixed and run-tested.

`WAR2  .BA`    -101- Written by Bob Dores, Milton, MA. A battle with 72,000 soldiers you deploy to Army, Navy, and Air Force against the computer.
  
`WEKDAY.BA`    -101- Input a birth date and learn fun facts like how many years have been spent sleeping in the elapsed time.  Written by Tom Kloos, Oregon Museum of Science and 'Industry.

`WUMPUS.BA`    -----  Hunt the wumpus.

`YAHTZE.BA`    -101- Dice game of Yahtze.  Author unknown.  Quite an elaborate and comprehensive implementation.  

Also on the `SYS:` partition is:

`RESEQ.BA`    -- Re-sequence line numbers of a BASIC program.
`RESEQ.BA`    ----- Re-sequence line numbers of a BASIC program.
