Possible Hardwar main menu scene Hardwar is a long-term project to remake the 1998 Hardwar - a science fiction flight simulation game. There have been two recent changes: The code hosting switched from Launchpad's bazaar to GitHub . The in-game editor was dropped and instead Ogitor will be used. While in-game editing is awesome, I'm glad that a general tool is being used and time is being saved. Ogitor 0.3 Ogitor is a Plug-In based WYSIWYG editor environment for OGRE.

A remake that has made some good progress is Game of Bases , putting a modern spin on a Commodore 64 classic Flash Attack . Control 4 tanks, protect your base, and take out your opponents. I mentioned FlowFlowMania the other day, a Pipe Mania remake. Since then there have been a few updates - 0.5 was announced on Freshmeat although not on the FlowFlowMania site at the time of writing. Gno3dtet Blockout was the original 3D tetris. Gno3Dtet (aka 3D Tetris) is a remake that looks very similar to the original in terms of the tile graphics. Beware, for I have known more than one person be addicted to that game to the point it adversely affected their degrees!
