Wow. I'm impressed. Thanks for your work guys
Also: I just fixed important issues in the Dos version of 1oom and it needs to be tested because I have some improvements for the SDL2 version, but I don't have much time for everything.

Thanks for dropping by. Is that fix included in your 1oom release v1.7.5, or does it need current SVN? I can play a game on real DOS if it helps the project.
(PS. I am missing the build ship at all planets shortcut. IIRC in some of your previous builds it was ctrl, alt or shift click on the select ship window.)

For example, it's possible to compile a DOS version of Falcon's Eye, even though the DOS binary is not provided.

I actually uploaded the code to Github last weekend and added a compiled DOS binary in the releases. Also, I added sound support under DOS in the game.

Thanks a lot! I remember watching your video of the DOS build a while back, but never got around to try compiling the DOS version myself.

DOSBOX is the best way to test it because of Android support
You can build/replace on all planets in the new "Ships" UI. Try the "Ships" button and hold Ctrl or Alt
Thanks for your support

Looks like the source code of Hypercycles was released to the public some time ago:
https://github.com/jevarg/hypercycles

The game is still shareware though.

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).

I think Raptor: Call of the Shadows can join the ranks.

Indeed: To quote the FreeDOS news article.

"DOS has always been a great platform for games - DOS saw a lot of great games, including the 2D flight attack game Raptor: Call of the Shadows by Apogee Software. The source code to Raptor: Call of the Shadows is now available under the GNU GPL. Developer "skynettx" worked with original Raptor developer Scott Host, and other developers, to release the source code as Free software under the GNU General Public License. You can find it at DOS Raptor on GitHub. This is distributed without assets, which will need to be rebuilt."

Whoopsie, I missed the news and only learned of this today, added to the list!

I also added Vitetris and moved Space Plumber to the main list of free open source DOS games, as the original source was intended to be compiled either for Linux or DOS, and the DOS binaries are built from it as far as I understand.

xyWords: Text-Mode Edition - a new DOS game for XT/256KB RAM/MDA/360KB FDD (with source)

I recently made a text-mode version of my earlier released xyWords game
It is complete with (admittedly poorly commented) source code and released under public domain
