Shadow of Power

Commander Keen

There's a source port for keen now called commander genius.

Source as in the source engine?

"Source port" refers to an open source replacement for a proprietary engine. For example, you can download replacements for the doom engine, the quake engine, and the duke nukem 3d have many open source engine replacements that let you run the games on different operating systems and often add new features.

For Doom and Duke 3d for example, it adds 3d accelerator support and all the features that come from that. There's raytracing versions of doom, quake, and quake 2 that never would have been imagined back when these games came out, and versions compiled for hardware that never existed while these games were under active development. I've got some Chinese handhelds that have a whole library of games compiled from source ports, so you can have a native port of a bunch of games.
