| `GOLF .BA` | `-----` | A not so great golf simulation. The one in *101 BASIC Computer Games* looks a lot better.
| `HELLO .BA` | `-101-` | Simple conversation program where Petey P. Eight gives advice.
| `HOCKEY.BA` | `-101-` | Simulation of regulation hockey game. Written by Charles Buttrey, Eaglebrook School, Deerfield, MA .
| `KING .BA` | `-101-` | Land management simulation by James A. Storer, Lexington High School, Lexington, MA. Missing a bit of the text output in the game published in the 1975 edition of *101 BASIC Computer Games*, but functionally equivalent.
| `LIFE .BA` | `-101-` | Conway's game of life, written in BASIC by Clark Baker, Project DELTA, Delaware School Auxiliary Association, Newport, Delaware.
| `LIFE2 .BA` | `-101-` | Two players place pieces on the board and the rules of Conway's game of life determines who survives. Written by Brian Wyvill, Bradford University, Bradford, Yorkshire, England.
| `MONPLY.BA` | `-101-` | Simulation of the board game, Monopoly, by David Barker, Southeastern State College, Durant, OK. Ported to OS/8 BASIC by Kay R. Fisher who eliminated the original RSTS-E virtual files.
| `POKER .BA` | `-101-` | Play poker against the computer. Original author: A. Christopher Hall, Trinity College, Hartford, CT. Re-ported to OS/8 BASIC from [CPM Users Group POKER.BAS](https://amaus.org/static/S100/MESSAGE%20BOARDS/CPM%20Users%20Group/cpmug020/POKER.BAS) source by Bill Cattey. CPM User Group posting had missing bits, and a couple constructs OS/8 BASIC didn't like.
| `POKER .BA` | `-101-` | Play poker against the computer. Original author: A. Christopher Hall, Trinity College, Hartford, CT. Re-ported to OS/8 BASIC from [CPM Users Group POKER.BAS][cpm-src] source by Bill Cattey fixing constructs OS/8 BASIC didn't like.
| `RESEQ.BA` | `-----` | Re-sequence line numbers of a BASIC program. Not from the DEC BASIC book.
| `ROCKET.BA` | `-101-` | Lunar lander simulation. Written by Jim Storer, Lexington High School. Ported from Focal by David Ahl, Digital. Lost for a while due to bad disk bits. Using a partial copy from [Dave Gesswein's archive](http://www.pdp8online.com/pdp8cgi/os8_html/ROCKET.BA?act=file;fn=images/os8/diag-games-kermit.rk05;to=ascii;blk=561,9,1;plain=1), a RSTS-11 version was found at [pdp-11.trailing-edge.com](http://pdp-11.trailing-edge.com/rsts11/rsts-11-013/ROCKET.BAS) and re-ported to OS/8 by Bill Cattey, converting RSTS BASIC constructs to OS/8 constructs, and eliminating some the ON ERROR GOTO stuff that was added to the RSTS version but does not exist in OS/8. This code diverged significantly from the version appearing in *101 BASIC Computer Games*, but is functionally equivalent.
| `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)
| `ROCKET.BA` | `-101-` | Lunar lander simulation. Written by Jim Storer, Lexington High School. Ported from Focal by David Ahl, Digital. Lost for a while due to bad disk bits. Using a partial copy from [Dave Gesswein's archive][dgw-rocket], a RSTS-11 version was found at [pdp-11.trailing-edge.com][trailing-edge] and re-ported to OS/8 by Bill Cattey, converting RSTS BASIC constructs to OS/8 constructs, and eliminating ON ERROR GOTO that does not exist in OS/8. This code diverged significantly from the version appearing in *101 BASIC Computer Games*, but is functionally equivalent.
| `ROCKT1.BA` | `-101-` | Another Lunar Lander Simulator. Written by Eric Peters, Digital. Thought lost. Recovered from [Dave Gesswein's Archive][dgw-rockt1].
| `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. Recovered from [Dave Gesswein's Archive][dgw-roulet].
| `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.
| `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).
| `TICTAC.BA` | `-----` | Play tic-tac-toe with the computer. Simple version. Thought lost. Recovered from [Dave Gesswein's Archive][dgw-tictac].
| `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.
