|Tomb Raider 1-5
Tagged automatic EasyRPG version. Reordered some sub-lists. Added Gaming Linux news link.
Some projects are implemented in ways that the original developer did not intend; for example, for a platform other than which publishers marketed it for. And they're not just limited to game engines either; [https://webamp.org/ Webamp] is a JavaScript application that reimplements Winamp in the web browser. These projects are almost always open-source which also allows new programmers to fix bugs that could have been difficult to track down during development (alternatively, the bugs may be emulated to allow mods to continue to safely exploit them). When most of the effort is on programming, the project will usually require the original game's assets (such as files in the installation directory or ROMs) until those ever get remade. This lets the developers claim they aren't infringing the game's copyrights since the player must obtain the original to use it; if the game is still being sold, this could allow the publisher to even earn revenue from the project.
For a complete list of these projects, see [https://osgameclones.com/ Open Source Game Clones]. For the latest news on releases and updates of game recreations and source ports that work on Linux, see the [https://www.gamingonlinux.com/articles/category/Game_Engine GamingOnLinux] website.
