Discussion

Source ports are a different thing. Source ports: developer releases source code, fans ports game (ie Doom). Game engine recreation: fans reverse engineer/recreates the game engine. From wikipedia: "Source ports are often created by fans after the original developer hands over the maintenance support for a game by releasing its source code to the public". We could have a separate page for source ports if there is interest in making it. --Jpx (talk) 04:31, 9 January 2019 (EST)
