Yesterday I found two DOS games available for free from their respective developers' pages: Beneath Apple Manor by Don Worth Empire of the Over-Mind by Gary Bedrosian However, neither game appears to have been developed for DOS, but the pages above and the downloads themselves contain very little …

I've removed Multiplex from the list, as the game's source was apparently only available upon request from the author, whose page is long down. Also I had a bit of a sweat to track down the files and sources for MAG a.k.a. Mike's Adventure Game . Apparently, someone nicknamed BALROG (Erik Inge Bolsø …

I've just removed the following games from the list: all Clonk games - empbarrasingly, the "code included" is not the source code but the registration code for the shareware versions Classic Empire - source code is only available for purchase (and possibly no code for the DOS version available at …

I suppose there are a lot more games of this kind out there, any suggestions? (I'm not talking about the obvious stuff like those hundreds of Tetris clones) Actually, I changed my mind. I'd be quite interested to learn about any Tetris variants that try to imitate the style of the original 1986 …

Does "source available with purchase of the game" fit the format? Thanks for the info about that game, but I'm thinking that if the source code is not publicly available, then it's not really "open source"? I can name at least a couple DOS games from the 90s which also supposedly provided the …

Looks like Kurt Dekker/PLBM Games offers free registered versions of their old games for download: http://plbm.com/oldsite/index2.htm The site is exactly as it used to be in the early-mid-2000s, but the downloadable files are registered copies, not shareware.

I just stumbled upon a different conversion of M.U.L.E. , for German developers: mule386.zip I was kind of able to play but the controls are a bit wonky. The graphics are pretty polished though. The readme states that this is a beta and they intended to make a shareware release out of it. But I've …

As I dug deeper into this I realised that the forum post format no longer suffices to properly document the remakes, so I switched to spreadsheets. I also combined my findings with non-DOS remakes and clones which I found earlier, so the list is pretty big (but still far away from exhaustive): …
