OpenRA is an incredible fan made project that recreates C&C (Tiberian Dawn), C&C: Red Alert, and Dune 2000, and updates them for the modern era, with optimised Full Screen HD visuals, an improved UI, new units, unit veterancy, fog of war, proper online multiplayer support and full match replays.

If you even have a passing interest in RTS games, you need OpenRA in your life – it takes the classic C&C gameplay we all know and love and updates it perfectly for the modern era – something EA has consistently failed to do for the past decade.

XYDONIA  - a cool new side scrolling shoot ‘em up inspired by 90’s Japanese arcade classics, with local co-op, a choice of ships with different weaponry, beautiful pixel art visuals and an awesome chip-tune soundtrack

Gameplay is fondly reminiscent of classics like R-Type and Gradius.  Less of a bullet hell shooter and more of a traditional side scrolling shoot em up, with you memorising attack formation patterns instead of weaving your way through screens full of bullets.  A well crafted piece of retro arcade blasting.
