Open Source DOS Games

Actual dos games that could at least theoretically be recompiled with the right dos tools, and then played in dosbox or on real hardware.

Doom doesn't count because the dos source is not available.

Look at http://dosgames.com/forum/about19706.html

Compile Doom on Linux

Anything on github?

The original Id software release is there, but no dos version because of a sound library issue. (Why not release dos source without sound?

This is still under development, try it out:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/prboom-plus/

Where can I checkout the source code?

Use cc65 just like for NES https://gist.github.com/lucasw/53ece8eed3b99beb6215b42cc686d1a7

Emulator

vice emulator- not in ubuntu repo, need to build from source- on sourceforge:

Need some old autoconf tools (and xa65 cross assembler) to build it:

sudo apt-get install autoconf byacc flex libreadline-dev libxaw7-dev texinfo xa65
