I'm not even sure *how* you would report false-positive matching, it's always a pain to even download MS-DOS demoscene productions when the browser thinks it's trying to "keep me safe". Oh, they offered me to send the file for a "review"... somewhere. I figured that I don't want to go through what …

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): …

Added Dungeons of Noudar 3D and Tetris Queen to the list, removed Tyrian as the original source code was never made available publicly (the code of OpenTyrian was translated from Pascal to C).

The 1988 DOS CGA version of Popcorn may be found all over and is apparently free to download. A simple Google search for "popcorn 1988 dos download" will yield the freeware version. Thank you Captain Obvious, I was specifically asking for the Windows port with the extra bells and whistles similar …

Some of you might probably know that Frédérick Raynal, one of the original creators of PopCorn (and probably much more well known for games like Alone in the Dark and Little Big Adventure ), has a browser version of the game on his site. However, past snapshots reveal that he also used to offer a …

Does anyone know where to get the original DOS version(s) of King's Quest 1 VGA ? I've only been able to track down, via the Wayback Machine, v3.0 which claims to be DOS-compatible but in fact it's already built off the Windows version of AGS: http://www.agdinteractive.com/KQ1.php Earlier releases …

I just beat the old 1997 Finnish DOS game Aleshar: World of Ice. It's one of the hardest, yet most satisfying RPGs I've ever played. Totally unique. Yet could have been so much better and more varied. I'm sorry the company didn't market the game -- or their creative talent skills better. I tried …

Meanwhile I put together a small list of liberated PC games (with a handful of non-PC titles) as an OpenDocument spreadsheet. The list can be sorted by platform, year of release, genre, original distribution model, source code license (if available), programming language, engine, and includes …

I never tested this one but it feels like it cant be too bad: https://github.com/stefanhendriks/Dune-II---The-Maker Dune II - The Maker is a recreation which is for the most part not directly based on Dune II code, and uses hand-edited upscaled art from the original game. By contrast, Dune Dynasty …
