Zane,
let me throw in 3 cents:
Sokoban - native
Tetris - vested
Yahtzee - vested
Maybe Tetris and Yahtzee are on some of the collections suggested by
other answers, but Sokoban (at least this version) will probably not be
there: this was my first C program (after HELLO_WORLD.C ;-). It dates
back to 1988 (perfectly on-topic! ;-) and was originally developed on a
VAX. One function was originally written in MACRO-32 because I initially
couldn't figure out how to deal with string descriptors, but I replaced
it with a C version in 2000, when I ported the game to an Alpha.
One of the development goals was to save bandwidth, and the result was
that it is possible to play using a 300 baud line, even though a
stopwatch is running on the VT screen.
Let me know if you want a BACKUP saveset. The complete Sokoban stuff,
with program sources and maps for 50 levels, including VAX and Alpha
.EXEs, is 63 files, 212 blocks total.
Yahtzee is 46+190 blocks for VAX+Alpha .EXE, Tetris is 26+104 blocks. Of
the latter, I also have a DECwindows version, as of some other games.
All mentioned games known good on OpenVMS/AXP V7.1-2 here, so they
should be working on 7.2, too.
