    You should look for “game name open source”. That should yield good results. Or just looking at the games available in Linux distributions.

    Every game from id until (including) Doom 3 was open sourced. So each one of them has such a project.

    Off the top of my head there are projects for:

    • Doom 1-3
    • Quake 1-3
    • Wolfenstein 3D
    • Dark Forces 1-2 (and Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy)
    • Tomb Raider 1-3
    • Alien vs Predator (the old one from 99 or so)
    • Duke Nukem 3D (the 2D ones probably as well)
    • Commander Keen
    • Command & Conquer Red Alert (I think 2 as well)
    • Gothic 1-2
    • Morrowind
    • an absolute shitton of adventure games that run with ScummVM

      Also one of the original goals of GOG was to revive good old games and make them run on modern systems out of the box. Often using one of the open source engines mentioned above. Plus DOSBox.

      Command & Conquer Red Alert (I think 2 as well)

      You can find them at openra.net

      They have reimplementation of Command & Conquer, Red Alert and Dune 2000. Excellent work really.

    The Mario 64 PC port is a pretty impressive feat, basically a complete open source reverse-engineering of the N64 game which you can then compile as a native binary (using you own copy of the ROM (legally acquired, of course) for the assets) with QoL improvements such as 60fps, wide-screen, high-resolution, free camera movement, and more. Plenty of different versions out there, I liked Render96ex.

        It definitely required a little bit of technical knowledge, though that was on Linux, I believe there’s a Windows version which might be a bit more beginner-friendly. There are also other forks of the project which might be simpler to start with.
