It's not "a VAX site", but Hammurabi does appear on the Spring 78
RT-11 SIG tape, and this is available by anonymous ftp
from
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/academic/computer-science/history/pdp-11/rt/decus/spri78/hamurs.bas
The top looks like:
100 PRINT "YOU ARE THE RULER OF THE ANCIENT KINGDOM OF SUMERIA."
101 PRINT "YOUR PEOPLE CALL YOU 'HAMURABI THE WISE'. YOUR TASK IS"
102 PRINT "TO DEVELOP A STABLE ECONOMY BY THE WISE MANAGEMENT OF"
103 PRINT "YOUR RESOURCES. YOU WILL BE BESET FROM TIME TO TIME"
104 PRINT "BY NATURAL EVENTS. THE ONLY HELP I CAN GIVE YOU IS THE "
105 PRINT "FACT THAT IT TAKES 2 BUSHELS OF GRAIN AS SEED TO PLANT"
106 PRINT "AN ACRE. MAY YOU JUDGE WELL, ALKNOWING HAMURABI."
107 PRINT "***********HAMURABI IS HERE***********"
110 P=95

Heck, I've got my set of 4 8" SSSD floppies straight from Creative Computing
with "101 Basic Games" and "More Basic Games". It's fun to fire up the IMSAI,
load a game, fix the typos (yes, there are typos in many of the MBASIC
sources!), and play a game of blackjack, lunar lander, or Hamurabi!
