source code to a ton of classic arcade/infocom/computer games + programs - madscijr - 05-18-2022

Ever want to look at the source code for MS-DOS, GW-BASIC, Windows file manager or Deluxe Paint?
How about arcade Lunar Lander, Tempest, Gravitar, Frenzy (Berzerk II), Asteroids Deluxe, or Defender? 
Or ZZT, Infocom's Hitchhiker's Guide or the original mainframe Zork code in FORTRAN?

For anyone curious about how these work, I came across treasure trove of source code for a ton of classic games & programs.

First/last page for the whole thing:
Here are the direct links for a bunch.

No problem! One of the best things about the QB64 community is how everyone shares info and helps each other. 

I just found this while looking for source code examples of "lunar lander" games. 
I would have killed to have access to this stuff back in middle and high school when I was making games on my Commodore 64 and TI99/4A computers! 

If some of this helps someone learn a technique or make an awesome game or program then great.
