love this open sourcing of classic pc games. now i only wish somebody turned Total War series into open source, especially the map campaign mode

  The beauty of open source: be empowered to be the change you wish to see! I'd offer to collaborate but I have neither the skills nor know the game beyond having heard of the name before.

    the problem is funding. not all of us can dedicate time working for free. this is a problem in general for open source.

      It doesn't have to be full time of course, I wouldn't have the time for that either. I don't know the exact details but from my understanding, OpenRCT2 basically took a machine-decompiled version of the game and started replacing things with proper code as they went along, fixing bugs, adding things they liked... and just keep the dependency on original game files to avoid copyright issues: if you don't have the original you simply can't play. That might work here as well?
