Open Source Game Clones

This is a source of http://osgameclones.com. Feel free to submit pull requests to add new games and improve information about those already in the database.

How

Check games.yaml out. All information is inside, and you should more or less understand what's going on by reading it. Sorting is alphabetical, with an exception of ScummVM, just because it's so many games at once.

Simplest way to contribute: edit games.yaml, and then your changes will be submitted as a pull request.
