Not a game but may be of interest.
Several days ago Microsoft re-released NT4's Windows File Manager (winfile.exe) fixed to run on Windows 10, with some improvements.

Source code is available.

Does this mean we can use this kind of filemanager in Linux land?

Hasn't ReactOS cloned it already?

Dunno' never paid much attention to ReactOS.

I'm talking about making a native Linux filemanager that more or less clones this.

It would need to be almost complete rewrite. Having the source for winfile.exe doesn't help here, really.

Looks like there is talk of porting it back to older operating systems.
