		rnemo on June 1, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Open source remakes of games you're still loving Just as a point of correction, Doomsday is not a Doom remake, it's an advanced source port. Freedoom (freedoom.sourceforge.net) is the closest thing to a remake, it's a project to create a free IWAD (the game data). It needs to be paired with an engine though, Doomsday is one, but there's also ZDoom (zdoom.org), PrBoom+ (prboom-plus.sourceforge.net) and my personal favorite, Eternity (doomworld.com/vb/eternity).

Conspicuously absent is Marathon and its OSS successor Aleph One: http://marathon.sourceforge.net/

Aleph One is amazing. Anyone who considers themselves a gamer should play this Bungie classic.

Same for ioQuake3. http://openarena.ws/ is a Q3A clone.
