In order to form a more perfect games archive, I have placed a copy of
the games that were distributed on the X11R3 tape and that have been
posted to comp.sources.x into the games archive on saab. There is also
a copy of the latest version of xtank (which now runs with no
modifications on a Sun).
All of these games have been added to the Index file and are available
via uucp just like the games posted to this newsgroup.
If you are looking for a ftp source, uunet.uu.net (amoung other sites)
maintains an archive of comp.sources.x.
As a reminder, X-Windows only games are posted to comp.sources.x. Games
that have multiple display capablilities, of which X-Windows may be one,
should be posted here.
