About Awesome Game Remakes

Awesome Game Remakes is a GitHub repository that curates actively maintained open source game remakes and links to their projects. The list is organized by genre, including Action, Adventure, Arcade, FPS, Online, RPG, Platformer, Racing, Simulator, and Strategy. Entries are described as recompilations, reimplementations, or source ports of existing games, such as projects for Tomb Raider, Grand Theft Auto, and Jedi Knight titles.

Most listed games require original game assets to run. Projects that do not require paid assets are marked with a symbol. Some entries specifically require the original game data, and some are noted as being in early development. The repository also links to related lists covering open source game clones, game file format reversing, and open source games more broadly.
