At least for "dungeon", those sources have been tweaked for VMS. It
might be possible to un-tweak them to get the V7 f77 compiler to build
it, but I've never tried.
You might have better luck just taking the /usr/games/lib/dungeon binary
from 4.2BSD (which is actually a PDP-11 executable that is run in
compatibility mode), and seeing if it'll just run on V7.

Ok that's the BSD in the tuhs archive right? Just want to make sure.
