![]() ![]() I decided to put together a separate list of DOS games which have source ports. I understand that "open source" may have a more strict meaning if it's GNU GPL, but actually there's a variety of licences (with possible additional complications if some parts of the code and/or some specific assets are excluded from the free and open licensing). The only criteria I used were a) the game must have an original DOS release (not a third-party port created after the release of the source code) and b) the source code of the game is available to the public under whatever license that permits that. Neither did I limit the list to games that have all assets freely available in addition to the source code. Also I have included some games on the list that were not originally released on or developed for the DOS platform (those are mostly roguelikes though perhaps I should have included Prince of Persia but it says "Apple II" right in the URL so I didn't I'm sure someone could more or less easily write a DOS port though). I understand that in many instances the source code, as released, does not directly correlate with the DOS version (and cannot be compiled into a DOS executable without modifications), especially if that game was ported over to other platforms since the original release. On a second thought, that whole story is really creepy.īack on topic, I appreciate the links for Digger and Sopwith (I guess I linked straight to SDL-Sopwith at SF). Games with Source Code Included - Theodor Lauppert's Game Gallery List of open-source video games - Wikipedia List of commercial video games with later released source code - Wikipedia List of commercial video games with available source code - Wikipedia Sources used to compile the above (in addition to own research): Super Noah's Ark 3D (code reconstructed based on Wolf3D source and reverse-engineering).Reconstucted source code for Duke Nukem II.OpenDUNE (reverse-engineering of Dune II: The Building of A Dynasty).Omnispeak ( Commander Keen 4-6 engine recreation).igor (reverse-engineering of Igor: Objective Uikokahonia).Cosmore (reconstructed Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure source code).Commander Keen 7 (QuickBASIC recreation of Commander Keen IV).Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold (code reconstructed based on Planet Strike sources and reverse-engineering).1oom ( Master of Orion engine recreation).Source code reconstruction and engine recreations Command & Conquer & Red Alert (Win95 version sources).Shareware and commercial games (non-free game data)ĭOS games with available source code for another platform Mike's Adventure Game (MAG) ( download, source).Lords of Midnight PC & Doomdark's Revenge PC.Falcon's Eye ( Nethack GUI) ( DOS builds).AllegroHack ( Nethack GUI) (source code lost?).Available source ports are not listed.Ĭompletely free games (including formerly commercial) Listed below are DOS games with available source code, either with free or open game data, or just the code.
