  • OpenRA

    Open Source real-time strategy game engine for early Westwood games such as Command & Conquer: Red Alert written in C# using SDL and OpenGL. Runs on Windows, Linux, *BSD and Mac OS X.

  • IMO this: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/blob/fe129956bb1b3f7e3231c1... is the most exciting part.

    Tiberian Sun remains my favourite C&C game. I know it was rushed and had some bugs but... I mean: The Forgotten? Absolutely there should be a mutant commando walking around with a portable railgun, physics be damned!

    I like C&C3, but it isn't TS and I feel it abandoned a bit the direction TS was taking us.

  • Vanilla-Conquer

    Vanilla Conquer provides clean, cross-platform builds of the C&C Remastered Collection and the standalone legacy games.

  • Also check out https://github.com/TheAssemblyArmada/Vanilla-Conquer which is a modernization of the original code (!), rather than a rewrite with liberties.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • awesome-game-remakes

    Actively maintained open-source game remakes.

  • Here's a nice list of open source remakes of commercial game engines in the spirit of OpenRA: https://github.com/radek-sprta/awesome-game-remakes

    Note a lot of these like OpenRA are reimplementations of the game engines but want the original game media. A good deal work with GoG or Steam releases of the old games while some will want original media. For ones that want original media a lot of old game ISOs can be found on the Internet Archive.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
