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.

There is also Warzone 2100 https://wz2100.net/

Here's my list:

• Pingus - a lemmings remake
• X-Moto - an elastomania clone (2d physics-based motorcycle game)

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.

https://github.com/FWGS/xash3d-fwgs

Widelands - Settlers II inspired game, played a couple of hours, pretty neat.

FreeCIV - how can that gme be missing here?

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:

Total Annihilation - TA Spring > Spring Engine > Recoil Engine > Beyond All Reason https://github.com/beyond-all-reason (I think there are mods that make it "Basically TA")

Escape Velocity/EV Nova - Endless Sky https://endless-sky.github.io/

Goldeneye 64 (multiplayer only) - Goldeneye Source https://forums.geshl2.com/index.php?topic=7823.0

Warlords II - LordsAWar! https://libregamewiki.org/LordsAWar!

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.

Addendum Source Ports for Android

moonpiedumplings made a list of Source Ports for Android on reddit

How come there's no mention of 0.A.D, it has amazing graphics, at least from the videos and screenshots.
Haven't gotten a chance to play it unfortunately.

Do you mean https://openrct2.io/? That's already on the list

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

Whole Lee Shit jazz jackrabbit brings back memories. I remember my first time playing it at a friend of the family's house, there was a dude there talking shit about how Windows was for lazy people (I was very young and windows was still kinda newish)

But how dare you not include OpenMW! Imagine having an og Xbox masterpiece on your phone, and you can mod it!
