Open Source Game Clones
This is the source of http://osgameclones.com.
Feel free to add new games or improve information about those already in the database
by submitting a pull request or opening an issue.
Games database
All of the games and their references to the original games are stored in YAML files under
games and originals. All information is inside, and you should
more or less understand what's going on by reading it. Sorting is alphabetical, with the
exception of ScummVM, just because it's so many games at once.
Add a clone / remake of a game
Simplest way to contribute is to fill in the template presented when you create
a new issue. Even better if you edit the files in the games directory directly. Your
changes will be submitted as a pull request. All games are validated against the rules
in the schema/games.yaml validation file.
