Do you know of Descent and Descent 2? Are they opensource? They required joysticks.



I remember playing those games back in 1995 and 1996 without joysticks.
Source codes for Descent and Descent2 are available here:

Personally, I've never tried those games on Box86 or Wine but will ask to my team mates if any of them ever tried them before on RK3399 or RPI4.

I think the first command and conquer might have had its code released as well.
I prefer games like C&C and Descent. There's a lot of first person shooters on your list. Not much of a variety, but I don't know all the titles. These two titles stand out in that regard. They are completely different from your list. Perhaps that would give you a bigger fan base?
I'd like to see descent remastered.

Looks like you haven't even browse all our videos about retro gaming from our youtube channel. We have some early videos about those games running in Rpi4 back in 2019. Currently in 2021, thanks to latest Panfrost developments and a stronger hardware, they run much better on RockPro64(RK3399/T864 CPU/GPU) than on Fruity boards(BCM2711/ VideoCoreVI CPU/GPU)
