Aaron Blain Posted October 12, 2021 https://osgameclones.com/ Granted, most of these aren't going to be fun, but if you're willing to put in some time searching you'll find some gems. "Flare" is a pretty good Diablo knockoff. I will also recommend Daggerfall Unity every chance I get. The remade engine runs beautifully, has tons of mods, and the vanilla game is downloadable free of charge so you can easily obtain the assets. 4 Share this post Link to post
deleted-account Posted October 12, 2021 Not sure if this counts, but the original's Diablo's source code has been recently reverse engineered and is available on Github. David Brevik mentioned it on a live stream and said that it was quite accurate to his original code. 4 Share this post Link to post

Since I played doom, open source games have caught my attention, but finding games that are still updated is difficult! 1 Share this post Link to post

Midnight_00 Posted October 13, 2021 A lot of FPS games from the same era are open source, aren't they? The source codes for all of id's early shooters, Heretic, Hexen, Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior and Return to Castle Wolfenstein were all eventually released, plus some more obscure ones. 1 Share this post Link to post
Maribo Posted October 13, 2021 Wikipedia list also relevant ^ pretty decently sized Wikipedia entries, obviously not comprehensive. My picks out of these are Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead and Xonotic. 2 Share this post Link to post

Minetest is a free clone of Minecraft. The Doom engine is free but not the Doom, Heretic or Hexen IWADs. Thus, Doom is not really open source. Debian has a special categories for such games. If it is non-free, it’s in non-free. It it is free but depends on non-free packages, it’s in contrib. For example, doom-wad-shareware is in non-free, dhewm3-doom3 is in contrib (it’s free but the Doom³ data are not free) and prboom-plus is in now main because of Freedoom (prboom-plus was in contrib when Freedoom did not exist). As far as I know, there is no equivalent of Freedoom for Doom³ or for Wolfenstein3D (WolfenDoom does not count, it’s for Doom). 1 Share this post Link to post

Noiser Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) CDogs. It started as a DOS top-down shooter but there's a SDL version now. The game seems to have a quite active community, with tons of levels and reskins available for download. 4 Share this post Link to post

MrDowntempo Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) If you like Hex based strategy, Wesnoth is a great open source game that's been around for at least 2 decades. There's tons of old roguelikes that are open source, including Nethack and Angband etc. And if you want to back in time beyond doom, beyond angband and moria.. One of the earliest video games is the terminal super star trek, and it is ported and maintained by one of the key figures of Open Source, Eric S. Raymond, here.

It seems to me that many old classics could be recreated in CDogs... like ik+, alien breed series, chaos engine 1 & 2, blue max, super cars??, ghosts n goblins??, ... and many more 1 Share this post Link to post
Azuris Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) Super Tux Kart But i never played it OpenRA CnC Red Alert as Open Source Stranded 1 and 2 Not sure if Open Source, but it blew my Mind back than that such a 3D Game is Free. With it Gathering and Build Mechanics i thought firstly that Minecraft is a Clone of Stranded :P Edit: Renegade X Also not sure if Open Source, Fan Remake of CnC Renegade Freeciv Civilization 2 Clone, pretty good. Also playable through the Browser. Oh and there was this RPG in the Quake Engine. Will edit it in when i find it on ModDB Edit: Dawn of Darkness Here it is, RPG in Quake 2 Engine. Haven't played it yet, only installed and started to look if it works :) Edited October 16, 2021 by Azuris 1 Share this post Link to post
