That's curious.  I don't have the games, so I don't know what the exact problem
is (I can't test for it).  But assuming that umacs works, then the TOPS games
must be using a different termcap library routine, which must be looking in a
different place for the termcap file.  Try looking around for a file that has
termcap entries (would be called termcap) in another directory.  If you find
it, save it off and copy our (/dd/sys/termcap) termcap in it's place.  But
first you might just try setting your TERM var to 'ansi' first.  If the termcap
file the game is looking for contains ansi, which it might, that would be the
easiest fix.
