Great, thanks for sharing. I’m definitely gonna take a closer look at these. Now imagine that the effort went into advancing the original sources rather than rewriting things from scratch.

I think that many companies would agree to release sources of abandonware games upon appropriate request from a fan base community, with the goal of preserving, maintaining and advancing the original title. In fact this is strategically beneficial action for the company, not from a financial perspective, but you can imagine some extra attention and buzz being created if the game was to be revived.

It’s possible that many companies are not even aware of devoted communities around their older titles.
