I remember loving this way back in the day. What an amazing labor of love. I hope the original devs can learn how loved their original creation remains.
- The Original devs released "War for the Overworld" a few years ago. It's as close to DK as it could without copyright issues
- Lol. I remember reading about it and being quite scared as a kid. I'll have to face my childhood fears now, I guess.
  
  The leather clad women who liked being tortured made me feel things
- Just looking at those screenshots made me nostalgic. I forgot how good the graphics were for that time and the fantastic 1st person mode, really cool.
  For me it would awesome if they could achieve porting it to Android, I am not playing that much on PC anymore. But thats my problem obviously.
This is great. It's so good to have this game maintained by the community. I played this game so much as a kid and have returned to it many times since. I think I'm due another go! 😈
I was thinking about Dungeon Keeper recently. I was really hoping since 2 Point revived Theme Hospital the may do the same for this other Bullfrog classic.
I have not heard of this FX thing. I may have to try it out. I always felt there was a lot more potential to this game that was never recognized. Maybe this will do a better job of it.
Has anyone done anything with Populous?

  You've sent me down a nostalgia road with your mention of Populous. Here's what I found, and I'll be digging into tomorrow.
  
  I am sorry and you're welcome 😆
I might have to try this. I bought a copy of Dungeon Keeper from the bargain bin, and by that time my PC was so much faster that the AI just steamrolled me every time.
- Lol, gotta love the old AI
- From the download page:
  Currently only Windows is supported, but Linux and Mac users can use Wine .
- Do you know some more hidden remake gems?
  OpenRCT2, eDuke32 and other Build Engine source ports, Doom has many source ports
  and ScummVM for many old adventure games
  
  Also OpenRA
