There are some bits and bobs on ftp.pbm.com - Judgment Day (WW3-type thing) and
early Atlantis code (full v1, test bits of v2).  Galaxy is freely available all
over the place (as, I think, are its variants).

Hope that helps.

On a related note, what might be nice to see is the release of code that is old,
no longer run, or gives no commerical advantage to try and spur development of
new games.  For example, code to manage player accounts is necessary for pretty
much every game, is tedious to write, and doesn't really contribute anything to
the quality of the game itself.  Having a reliable chunk of code in the public
domain might cut out some of the donkey-work for budding developers.

Thoughts, anyone?

Regards,
Tim.
