Open Source Game Clones →

June 10, 2019 • #

I don’t play games at all anymore these days, but I ran across this repository of open source clones of classic PC games.

Some notable ones from the list that we used to play:

  • 0 AD — Age of Empires
  • C-Evo — Civilization II
  • Interstate Outlaws — Interstate ‘76
  • Jedi Outcast Linux — Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
  • OpenRCT — Rollercoaster Tycoon
  • OpenSkyscraper — SimTower

The world of open source software (and GitHub, specifically) really is amazing. Kids out there the age I was when I played these can now go online and look at the source code to see how they’re made.
