u guys should port commander keen( i used to love it) im sure theres source somewhere its a pretty old game

I think activision still owns the license to commander keen.. so it's not open source.. play it with dosxbox.. it'll work

I also vote for the Doomsday engine, though Racer does look pretty awesome too.

I vote for the descent 1 or 2 port. and customizable controls if possible, if not, then similar to the halo standard controls. cuz everyone plays halo, right? lol
but definately descent. yeah

what do you think we could do with the leaked HL2 beta and oh yes its source code(leaked) *most likely nothing* onless we have some great porter with time on thier hands? ANYONE

I'd really like the old Gabriels Knight Titles ported. I think the first to were just dos cdrom games. Would those be easy to port? Or how about Phantasmagoria 1,2, or shivers, 11th hour, D, Anything like this?

Over in the homebrew forum some people have given links to SIN and Hexen II source code, has anyone looked into either of these to determine if they are do-able or lacking enough source?

To put it politely...

Developers have families to feed too, nobody will port that for this reason.

Remember, just because the source exists, that doesn't mean someone is going to port it.
If you hear no response, that means no one really feels like currently porting it, so it'd be best to not keep asking about it.

You need to wait for a developer who has interest in said project before you'll see a port.

I think They made a great work porting Quake 2, so why not port the wonderful Alien vs Predator? I really enjoyed playing Q2, actually more than several other xbox-games, so Alien would be great. And someone here said the source was released, it must be if someone ported it for Dreamcast.
