          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

            Thanks. I've added the games to the Addendum "Inspired Games", but i think UnCIV is more a remake

              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.

                  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:

                  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.

                            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

                            I wouldn't say Unciv is a Civ5 clone with those graphics though...

                                  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.

                                    I wouldn't say Unciv is a Civ5 clone with those graphics though...

                                      I'd just say it's an inspiration and say it's a standard era 4x game. Graphically it's a demake, but the cpu opponents are superior to those from V I'd say

                                        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's a guy called BlenderDumbass who is attempting to make a Libre/FOSS GTA clone called Dani's Race in UPBGE engine

                                        Here's his Matrix-Room if you wish to contact him
