  • NetHack

    Official NetHack Git Repository

    • I don't think I've ever seen one with hundreds of developers, but there are a lot of open source games that have had many contributors over the years. https://github.com/NetHack/NetHack is the most "famous" example that comes to mind.

  • warzone2100

    Command the forces of The Project in a battle to rebuild the world after mankind has been nearly destroyed by nuclear missiles. A 100% free and open source real-time strategy game for Windows, macOS, Linux, BSD+

    • Warzone2100 Not nearly hundreds, but at 97 contributors it's still a very large project. Originally a paid game, the source code was made freely available after the original company went under, and has been driven by fans ever since.
