VT100 games for CP/M

In this repository, I want to collect some games for CP/M which work when using a VT100 compatible terminal (i.e. VT100 ANSI escape sequences).

These games use VT100 either per default or were adopted to using them.

Whenever possible, I will provide working binaries (i.e. .COM files) and also the sources or original files that I found online.

HD image

In the directory HDimage, you can find a 4MB z80pack compatible HD image conaining all the game files (minimal file count). All games are on user area 0, except Wanderer, which uses a lot of data files - Wanderer is placed in user area 1. This HD image file should be usable e.g. on the IMSAI 8080 clone or any other z80pack powered emulation.

ZIP archives

In the directory Packages, a script to create .zip archives (as well as these files) of every game can be found. These archives are created for BBS distribution of the games.
