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

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

-49 Games in total

-37 Remakes, SourcePorts etc.

Extra space here for ScummVM, who are supporting a lot of games from different companies, Lucas Arts and Sierra, but also Westwood (Eye of the Beholder) and New World Computing (Might and Magic I, III and IV). The whole list is here
