Liero is high up on my list. The original wasn't open source, of course, but a really good game with a few bugs. The author lost the source code in a crash and that precluded any future bugfixes.
Eventually someone reimplemented it faithfully! I love FOSS!

OpenMW is my current vice, but obviously content is not open source.
- saboot 4y agoHah, I didnt know that about Liero, that's a great story. I remember having many good days with classmates in our computer high school class "studying" thanks to LieroX
- albertzeyer 4y agoThere is OpenLieroX (https://www.openlierox.net/ https://www.openlierox.net/) (disclaimer: I'm one of the main developers) and then there is also a almost exact reimplementation of the original one (https://www.liero.be/ https://www.liero.be/). Also see Webliero: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22980676 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22980676 And there have been many other clones in the past like Gusanos. Soldat is also similar, and has recently become open sourced. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26058312 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26058312 And Teeworlds (always been open source) as well.
- kqr 4y agoI did look at all the clones (there are many!) But I felt like none matched the dynamics and mechanics of the original -- hence my excitement when someone ported OpenLieroX and made the almost exact reimplementation!
