Don't know if this kind of thread ever pops up here but do people try and revive/port old games that are available in source form for Linux etc?

Many games have already been ported I know, like the big ones like Doom, Quake, Hexen. But there are games that didn't get so much attention like AvP.
Only asking as I might attempt to port it just to see if it can be done. Haven't done any game or graphics programming before but I have done a lot of general application and web programming and I know Linux fairly well.

I see some games available as source code, mostly DOS games. I don't know enough about it myself but go for it man, why not

Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem and a fucking bunch of other PC games around the mid nineties released their source code. You just have to do some digging and you can find them. Maybe you could decompile ROMS with certain emulators.
