C-Dogs SDL is an open-source port of the classic 1990s overhead run-and-gun DOS game C-Dogs, built in C with SDL2. It supports up to 4 players in co-op and deathmatch modes, includes over 100 user-created campaigns, and is highly moddable.

Use cases

• play a classic overhead run-and-gun shooter on modern PCs
• play local co-op or deathmatch with up to 4 players
• download and play user-created campaigns and mods
• create custom campaigns and maps for a retro shooter
• relive a 1990s DOS game with modern enhancements
• port classic game mods like Wolfenstein 3D clones into a modern engine

When to choose

• you want a free, open-source retro run-and-gun game with multiplayer support
• you want a moddable 2D shooter with a large library of community campaigns
• you want to play classic DOS-era games on Linux, macOS, or Windows

When to avoid

• you want modern 3D graphics or AAA production values
• you need a game engine or library to build your own game rather than a finished game
• you prefer online multiplayer over local co-op
