Game engine recreations (sometimes called game engine re-implementations or remakes) are unofficial recreations of game engines. Allowing you to play games on different systems to which they where originally created. This requires you to have the original game assets and load them in the game engine recreation. Game engine recreations are mostly done thru reverse engineering the original game engines. Game engines which are unofficial recreated when the original source code is available are mostly called source ports. If its done by the original company it's simply called ports, remakes or remasters.
