  • OpenTTD

    OpenTTD is an open source simulation game based upon Transport Tycoon Deluxe

  • RPI-Engine

    A freely available text-based RPG server derived from an older version of the Shadows of Isildur source code.

  • MUDs are a class of game that is terribly underrated. I've played on a few different one (mostly toward the RP focused end of things) but I think the whole family of games shows just how effective imagination can be when coupled solely with text descriptions.

    I have extremely strong memories from Shadows of Isildur[1] and met my spouse there!

  • https://www.beyondallreason.info/

    PS: One hill I will die on is games using Discord as forum/wiki like this one does.
