    Disclaimer: I changed a little the layout and thanks for the contributions!

    The Idea:

    On my old Mastodon Profile i've made a list of Rebuilds/Fan Remakes/SourcePorts (when possible opensource, no commercial remakes) for old PC Games, and i want to share it here on Lemmy too, so people can easily find it.

    Why?

    I've played lot of these games, and i'm glad there a Fans who still working on these games, to make it accessible on modern systems and giving them some QoL improvments.
    In my opinion, that's a great way to preserve old games from being forgotten and keep playable for new players.
    Also these people need some recognition (at least) for their hard work.

    I'm glad If you help to complete this list and contribute some games you know.

    In the moment there are alphabetical sorted:

    • 68 PC Games in total

    • Super Mario Bros. X is a Mario fan-game remake that uses lots of assets from the SNES era of Mario games (Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, Super Mario RPG).
    • Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a Sonic fan game made from the Doom engine, inspired by the Sega Genesis era of Sonic games.

    They're both open-source.

      You seem like you might like osgameclones.com. It's absolutely massive because it includes projects even if they're unfinished or abandoned, but you can sort by playability, development status, even programming language if you're looking to contribute.

            Star Wars Jedi Knight I and II: Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast (Not stable) - OpenJK https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK

            Despite the official name being "Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy" it is not Jedi Knight I. It is actually a sequel to Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. It came out only a year after JO and was announced in April. At first I thought it was an April Fool's joke because the screenshots looked like something that could easily be made with the mod tools at the time.

            It wasn't called Jedi Knight III because you play a different character.

            Anyways, the real Jedi Knight I was "Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II". An open source implementation is available at https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/OpenJKDF2

            And to round it off, the open source implementation of Dark Forces is available at https://theforceengine.github.io/. I think it even supports the remaster.

              Oh, also ScummVM should always be included in such a list. It supports a ton of classic adventure games from LucasArts, Sierra and others. And by now even Might and Magic 4+5: World of Xeen.

                Star Wars Jedi Knight I and II: Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast (Not stable) - OpenJK https://github.com/JACoders/OpenJK

                Despite the official name being "Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy" it is not Jedi Knight I. It is actually a sequel to Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. It came out only a year after JO and was announced in April. At first I thought it was an April Fool's joke because the screenshots looked like something that could easily be made with the mod tools at the time.

                It wasn't called Jedi Knight III because you play a different character.

                Anyways, the real Jedi Knight I was "Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II". An open source implementation is available at https://github.com/shinyquagsire23/OpenJKDF2

                And to round it off, the open source implementation of Dark Forces is available at https://theforceengine.github.io/. I think it even supports the remaster.

                  Disclaimer: I changed a little the layout and thanks for the contributions!

                  The Idea:

                  On my old Mastodon Profile i've made a list of Rebuilds/Fan Remakes/SourcePorts (when possible opensource, no commercial remakes) for old PC Games, and i want to share it here on Lemmy too, so people can easily find it.

                  Why?

                  I've played lot of these games, and i'm glad there a Fans who still working on these games, to make it accessible on modern systems and giving them some QoL improvments.
                  In my opinion, that's a great way to preserve old games from being forgotten and keep playable for new players.
                  Also these people need some recognition (at least) for their hard work.

                  I'm glad If you help to complete this list and contribute some games you know.

                  Beside the already mentioned Open Source Game Clones there's also this list on GitHub.

                  As for specific titles, I'd like to add:

                  • Fallout Community Edition and Fallout 2 Community Edition
                  • VCMI (open-source engine for Heroes of Might and Magic III)
                  • OpenGOAL (port of Jax and Daxter, second and third game in development)
                  • OpenGothic (officially only supports Gothic 2 but works with the first game as well)
                  • Perfect Dark port
                  • Super Mario 64 Port
                  • TRX – Tomb Raider I & II: Community Edition

                  There's also WipeOut Phantom Edition but this one isn't open-source so I'll just leave it here in case someone wants to check out the existing build.

                    It's not finished yet but OpenXray Gunslinger is probably going to be a better STALKER: Call of Pripyat remaster than the official one that just got announced.

                      Oh, also ScummVM should always be included in such a list. It supports a ton of classic adventure games from LucasArts, Sierra and others. And by now even Might and Magic 4+5: World of Xeen.

                        Beside the already mentioned Open Source Game Clones there's also this list on GitHub.

                        As for specific titles, I'd like to add:

                        • Fallout Community Edition and Fallout 2 Community Edition
                        • VCMI (open-source engine for Heroes of Might and Magic III)
                        • OpenGOAL (port of Jax and Daxter, second and third game in development)
                        • OpenGothic (officially only supports Gothic 2 but works with the first game as well)
                        • Perfect Dark port
                        • Super Mario 64 Port
                        • TRX – Tomb Raider I & II: Community Edition

                        There's also WipeOut Phantom Edition but this one isn't open-source so I'll just leave it here in case someone wants to check out the existing build.

                        Thanks for the list, but i try to keep it in the PC Side of gaming, mostly i'm more familiar with that. I'll think about If and how i add these to the list 🙂
                        Thanks again:)

                          Disclaimer: I changed a little the layout and thanks for the contributions!

                          The Idea:

                          On my old Mastodon Profile i've made a list of Rebuilds/Fan Remakes/SourcePorts (when possible opensource, no commercial remakes) for old PC Games, and i want to share it here on Lemmy too, so people can easily find it.

                          Why?

                          I've played lot of these games, and i'm glad there a Fans who still working on these games, to make it accessible on modern systems and giving them some QoL improvments.
                          In my opinion, that's a great way to preserve old games from being forgotten and keep playable for new players.
                          Also these people need some recognition (at least) for their hard work.

                          I'm glad If you help to complete this list and contribute some games you know.

                          In the moment there are alphabetical sorted:

                          UnCIV - Civ V clone, also pretty neat

                              A few more honorable mentions that are not exact re-implementations with compatibility with the original datafiles, but more spiritual followups:

                                Thanks for the list, but i try to keep it in the PC Side of gaming, mostly i'm more familiar with that. I'll think about If and how i add these to the list 🙂
                                Thanks again:)

                                Yeah, I've seen it after writing this. Thankfully, half of these are for PC native games so I didn't miss completely at least.

                                  Disclaimer: I changed a little the layout and thanks for the contributions!

                                  The Idea:

                                  On my old Mastodon Profile i've made a list of Rebuilds/Fan Remakes/SourcePorts (when possible opensource, no commercial remakes) for old PC Games, and i want to share it here on Lemmy too, so people can easily find it.

                                  Why?

                                  I've played lot of these games, and i'm glad there a Fans who still working on these games, to make it accessible on modern systems and giving them some QoL improvments.
                                  In my opinion, that's a great way to preserve old games from being forgotten and keep playable for new players.
                                  Also these people need some recognition (at least) for their hard work.

                                  I'm glad If you help to complete this list and contribute some games you know.

                                  In the moment there are alphabetical sorted:

                                  • 68 PC Games in total
                                  • 53 Remakes, SourcePorts etc.

                                  https://osgameclones.com/ is the best aggregate for this kind of thing.
                                  https://libregamewiki.org/ also looks like something relevant.

                                  Maybe now that we have a messy thread of various links, we can go check whether some of them are not yet listed in osgameclones.

                                      Disclaimer: I changed a little the layout and thanks for the contributions!

                                      The Idea:

                                      On my old Mastodon Profile i've made a list of Rebuilds/Fan Remakes/SourcePorts (when possible opensource, no commercial remakes) for old PC Games, and i want to share it here on Lemmy too, so people can easily find it.

                                      Why?

                                      I've played lot of these games, and i'm glad there a Fans who still working on these games, to make it accessible on modern systems and giving them some QoL improvments.
                                      In my opinion, that's a great way to preserve old games from being forgotten and keep playable for new players.
                                      Also these people need some recognition (at least) for their hard work.

                                      I'm glad If you help to complete this list and contribute some games you know.

                                      In the moment there are alphabetical sorted:

                                      • 68 PC Games in total

                                      Don't forget the Xash3D engine for GoldSrc games (e.g. Half-Life and mods). It runs on everything from a PSP to a PC. And it's faithful. It relies on the original assets.

                                        Throw Manic Miners on there. It's a fan remake of the old Lego Rock Raiders game, and it's really fun. There's a custom level builder and I think there's a browser you can search for other custom levels.

                                          I mean you can only play them on PC, so I'm not really sure what you're saying here
