`LIFE2 .BA`    -101-  Two players place pieces on the board and the rules of Conway's game of life determines who survies.  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.

`ROCKET.BA`    --  Corrupted file.  To be replaced if possible.
`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`    --  Corrupted file. To be replaced if possible.
`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`    --  Corrupted file. To be replaced if possible.
`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.

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