EA Open Sources Command and Conquer: Red Alert
OpenRA did it better :D
If you haven't seen it yet https://www.openra.net/ is worth your time.
https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA
I have many fond memories of playing openra as "LAN" game on the "gaming weekends" from a few FOSS groups I've been in. Can't recommend "saturday gaming" enough to anyone involved in any foss community.

Ask HN: Does retro computing make you feel younger or older?
Thanks for sharing that link! My brothers and I used to play Command & Conquer, so I'm interested in trying OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/). Maybe you've got ideas on this - I'd love to find a space game that's sort of a mix of Elite Dangerous & X4.
Thanks for bearing with the whiplash - my usual approach with open-source is that I try to figure out what the absolute best commercially-available tool is to solve a problem, then I go find out the best open-source equivalent and invest in that for the long term. Recent example (in speech synthesis): I'm prototyping with ElevenLabs (commercial/proprietary), and then investing in PiperTTS (open-source).

The Rise and Fall of the LAN Party
Recently, my friends and I recreated our old LAN parties. Went up to a cabin in the woods, brought some cheap network switches, and had everyone install OpenRA (https://www.openra.net/, open red alert), and had a blast, even with everyone on laptops (mac/win). You can still do this in 2024 and it's worth it!

Ask HN: What older games are you playing through?
After the movies, I wanted to experience Dune 2 again (the pirate sites have it, along with patches to make it playable on modern OSes or Crossover). It was arguably the first mass-market real-time strategy game. There's also OpenRA for C&C, Red Alert, and Dune 2K: https://www.openra.net/
I understand Square is re-making FF7 in a multi-part release over several years (not sure why it takes so long)? https://ffvii-remake-intergrade.square-enix-games.com/en-us/ Once it's all out, I might play through that again just for nostalgia's sake (and for the soundtrack, of course! Twenty years later, I still have Aeris's Theme stuck in my head from time to time)
