Just a guess, but I'd say most of it is probably gone. Any that still exists is likely on random floppies/tapes/hardcopy buried deep in the back of some developer's closet. I seem to recall the Gorf developer has the source exactly like that.

There is a team that does that! They have a funny name... I can't think of it, starts with an M or something.
