FreeSynd is an open source engine for Syndicate, that could be pretty good. Syndicate Wars would be better, but no idea if there's a version for that.

Heh, I'm UAE-ing my Amiga 3000 little by little to put it on my PC. I have the original Syndicate game from that platform. Those were the days...

Bioware games would be nice, looks like GemRB holds promise. Maybe when the N900 user base can post some significant numbers we can petition some of the devs/software houses to release their old source. Not to say that it is a small task to prep and release game source code for some companies. Time and $ always factor in, despite how simple it seems to us.

It's cross platform, uses oggvorbis for sound and uses SDL or OpenGL backend for rendering.

Yes, FIFE is possibly the project referred to by hqh in post #3?

It used to be an effort to make a Free Isometric Fallout Engine, but it now stands for Flexible Isometric Free Engine.

It looks very interesting. On the other hand, it has looked very interesting for several years now. I think its development is slow, but steady.

Edit:

For fans of Fallout, PARPG (post-apocalyptic roleplaying game) might be an interesting project. It uses FIFE and is "currently moving towards a first techdemo release".

Maybe going off-topic? But I would LOVE to see Counter-Strike (any version) on the N900!

I don't know what the status of this project got to before being abandoned, but there seems to an open source Fallout engine here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ianout/

It would be super cool if someone could pick it up and make it run on the N900.

Planescape torment works fine with GemRB, using cheat keys, its completeable.
