The best page about authentic games that I know of is:

http://www.inmet.com/~justin/game-hist.html

However, it doesn't have much in the way of illustrations of boards.

Pente, btw, is fairly modern.

And while I'm at it, I should mention the historical games mailing list,
which may be subscribed to by sending mail to majordomo@pbm.com saying

subscribe hist-games

There's an archive of past postings on Justin's page.
