This is the source of http://osgameclones.com. Feel free to add new games or improve information about those already in the database by submitting a pull request or opening an issue.
All of the games and their references to the original games are stored in YAML files under
games
and originals
. All information is inside, and you should
more or less understand what's going on by reading it. Sorting is alphabetical, with the
exception of ScummVM, just because it's so many games at once.
Simplest way to contribute is to fill in the template presented when you create
a new issue. Even better if you edit the files in the games
directory directly. Your
changes will be submitted as a pull request. All games are validated against the rules
in the schema/games.yaml
validation file.
