Open Source Alternatives to Popular Games
Thanks to the endeavours of hardcore games lovers, various open source “clones” have been developed over the years that realistically attempt (and in many ways succeed) to replicate the success of the original games on which they’re based. Code is written completely from scratch, new graphics are employed and these titles are pretty good imitations.
Typically developed for Linux users to be able to enjoy some great gaming, Windows and Mac owners can also benefit from open source clone games.
Top Gaming Clone Titles
In some cases there are multiple clones paying homage to a particular title – in other cases, there are none. However, many classic gaming types and titles are available, as you will see. Any of these titles can be found on the web and installed for free, resulting in 100% completely free gaming without breaching any copyright!
Quake Series – one of the greatest shoot-em-ups in gaming history, Quake clones come in the shape of OpenArena, a Quake III clone, while the original Quake I, II and III titles have had their source code released.
