MScottson Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Hi, I'm just wondering hypothetically what open source games could be a good addition to the VCS store. Just to get the ball rolling here are some examples I found: Some of the games from this list could work: https://www.slant.co/topics/1933/~best-open-source-games X-Moto (Elastomania clone): https://github.com/xmoto/xmoto Open source rhythm games Stepmania/project outfox (DDR/ITG): https://projectoutfox.com/ UltraStar World Party (karaoke): https://ultrastar-es.org/en Clone hero (guitar hero) https://clonehero.net/ Osu! (tapping game): https://osu.ppy.sh/home Maldita Castilla: https://locomalito.com/maldita_castilla.php List of free to Play Shmups: https://shmups.wiki/library/Free_to_Play Interested to hear what people think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzip Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Fractalus - (modern remake of Rescue On Fractalus) https://www.lsdwa.com/projects/fractalus/ I've played it in PC Mode on VCS and works great, but I'm sure getting the rights would be an issue to get it into the VCS store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzip Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 There's a bunch of free games here some may be interesting: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/free-games/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Postal; although I'd prefer to see that on Jag/Jag CD to be honest. Edited February 4, 2022 by Gunther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunther Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 The original developer has given his blessing. It's a little to much for the Jaguar, but the VCS could get a port: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MScottson Posted March 24, 2022 Author Share Posted March 24, 2022 It would be awesome to have openbor or one of the open source versions of doom (freedoom) with a way to easily download the different games for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mockduck Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I mean...since it is open source, there's no commercial reason to bring it to the VCS Store. Are people instead saying a VCS-specific port available on their web site that you'd download using Chrome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what people want is a way to bring free linux games to VCS, whether they be made available for free in Atari Store, or giving us a method to side-load apps and have them appear on console dashboard Edited March 24, 2022 by zzip 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
