I understand that AT&T has removed them from their system.  The people
I worked with on AIX v3 at IBM were very insistent on keeping as many
of the games as possible, including a few which required bug fixes to
the code when we were supposed to be working on more important things ...

Many of the games programs, such as fortune, are such a part of UNIX
that I can scarcely imagine anyone actually removing them.
