You might try the RSTS section of the DECUS library, which should be online
somewhere. I'm not sure where. That will have assorted games as well as other
stuff. For example, there's a program package called COSAP which is a
collection of statistical analysis tools. That came from my alma mater, and
was used there particularly in sociology courses for the students to do
(occasionally meaningful) analysis on various survey databases. It was known
for sucking up lots of CPU and disk bandwidth on our machine.
