BOS GAMES

Back in the day when BOS was running on all sorts of computers, there were some very clever programmers that created games in their spare time/when the pubs had shut.

Look at the dates of these:

It wasn't state of the art graphics back then & these days, PCs are too fast to run say INVASION. The game is over right after you start it. I do remember playing it on the SIRIUS-1. 

Here are the screenshots:

GAMECN

BALL

BATT

DRIVE (no longer works).

EXIT 8002: A file condition has arisen while processing a relative sequential file but the user program has 
failed to trap the resulting exception. 

DTOWER

GMAP

HANG

INVASION

LIFE

MASTER

OTHELLO

PENT

QUANDRY

SHOOT

TMAP

TOWERS

TRAP1 (like Snake on the Nokia 6110, only 18 years before Nokia created it)

TRAP2 (like Snake on the Nokia 6110, only 18 years before Nokia created it)

Back in 2005, Alan Underwood created SUDOKU to work out the puzzle automatically.

I also remember playing RATS (not a BOS game) on the Burroughs B25
