Open Source Game Clones

This is a source of http://osgameclones.com. Feel free to submit pull requests to add new games and improve information about those already in the database.

Games database

Check out the 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

Simplest way to contribute is to open a new issue and fill in the template. Even better if you edit the /games files directly. Your changes will be submitted as a pull request.

If you're adding a new clone/remake:

name: string            # Name of clone/remake (required)
remakes: array          # Name reference to original game(s) that this game remakes
clones: array           # Name reference to original game(s) that this game clones
repo: string            # Link to source code
url: string             # Link to website
feed: string            # Link to RSS/Atom feed
development: enum       # One of: complete, very active, active, sporadic, halted
status: enum            # One of: playable, semi-playable, unplayable
multiplayer: enum       # One of: Online, LAN, Split-screen, Co-op, Hotseat, Matchmaking
lang: array             # List of programming languages used
framework: array        # List of engines/tools used
license: enum           # One of licenses listed in games schema file
content: string         # One of: commercial, free, open, swapable*

images: array           # Link(s) to screenshot(s)
video:
  youtube: string       # YouTube video ID
  vimeo: number         # Vimeo video ID

# * free means no cost, open means liberally licensed

Add a game parent

If you're adding a new game group:

- name: string          # Name of the original game (required)
  names: array          # Other names for the game, or other games in the series
  meta:
    genre: array        # See genres in originals schema
    subgenre: array     # See genres in originals schema
    theme: array        # See genres in originals schema

A Wikipedia link is created for all original game names; if the article link is different, use the following syntax:

name: [Name, Name of Wikipedia article]

If the game has a non-Wikipedia link:

name: [Name, 'http://www.example.com']

Please refer to the template and the schema files (originals, clones) when adding new games.
