## What it is
A curated awesome-list cataloging actively maintained open-source remakes of classic commercial games, such as Tomb Raider, GTA, and Duke Nukem II. It links to reimplementation engines and source ports, noting which require original game assets.

## Use cases
- find open-source remakes of classic games
- discover source ports for old titles like Tomb Raider or GTA
- look up which game remakes need original assets

## When to choose
- you want a curated, actively maintained index of open-source game remakes
- you are looking for source ports or reimplementations of specific classic games
- you want to explore open-source game engine projects by genre

## When to avoid
- you want the actual game code or assets rather than links to projects

- you want playable games without owning the original assets
