I still feel regret over missing 24 games on Windows 95. Those titles were really poor.

Finding abandoned software on Linux might just be the most amusing thing I've encountered.

In the 90s, three primary operating systems received support while DirectX lagged behind OpenGL.

I own the first edition of "Future Games for Windows" 3.1 and 95, but it contains just 20 titles. A few games are included: Earthworm Jim, Pit Fall, Fall Quake Ultra, Pinball, Virtual Chess.

It doesn’t appear you’re grasping how Linux games transition to open source once they’re considered obsolete.

Back then I had no experience with Linux, so when it opened up for open sourcing I didn’t pay much attention. Also, just because something becomes open source doesn’t mean it’s any less neglected...

It does, enabling the community to introduce elements the initial creators didn't foresee.

When software gets dropped, it becomes abandonware whether it's open source or not. If someone in the open-source group was developing the projects, they wouldn't be considered abandonware.
