Computer Play

These are some implementations of various period games, to play on/against the computer. I don't vouch for any of them, I just list them. Note that some of these are pretty old.

Zillions of Games (Computer Play, Vendor) -- Arguably the best game engine in existence, at least for period games. It can't go everything, but it can do a lot, and it comes with many period games already implemented. (If you hadn't guessed, I really like this program.) (more)
