It is part of the 4.4BSD games set. So were boggle, chess, ching, dungeon, warp and xneko. It looks like ching and xneko got imported, but were later removed. Boggle, dungeon and warp don't seem to have been in -Lite. At least dungeon and warp don't allow copying for profit. Boggle was "believed to contain source code proprietary to AT&T". Chess is/was GNUware. My point is that things come and go, and that many games were removed from -Lite that were in 4.4BSD. I'm not one bit sad to see this hideous 80's-ism get removed (although I wouldn't have even wasted the effort removing it).
