What are some not well known retro PC games that are still getting updates or have an active modding community?

Does Zoo Tycoon qualify for /vr/ material?
If so, then here you go

>> No.5703172

>>5703103
Lesser known? In terms of mods everything lives in the shadows of Doom and Quake
So do Transport Tycoon, Daggerfall and Blood count?

Nice
Looks like a Talonsoft game.

Master of Orion 2 and Master of Magic I guess

pretty sure some ancient MUDs are still running and updated but I guess it's more about maintaining old friendships than actual gaming

Steel panthers is a pretty fun game. Which version is the best of the retro games?

well known games with more niche modding communities include Quake and Thief 1/2, those are still kicking and Quake is seeing a bit of a resurgence

Morrowind is also seeing a bit of a resurgence of modding since more modern bethesda games have strong modding communities too, they even made multiplayer with OpenMW, go fucking figure
the Daggerfall Unity remake is almost done and it already has mods for that too, would not be surprised if they make that shit online too at some point

The Panzer General games have lots of fan made scenarios, as well as winSPWW2 for Steel Panthers

but more obscure games? not so sure really
there was this racing game that keeps getting tracks, I think it was POD Gold

Tytian / Opentyrian (1995-2019)
Im going to play it co-op with my best buddy tomorrow, arcade mode, hope we'll finish it, but it will be fun even if not.
(look at the builds, runs in lots uncommon stuff like the DS, dreamcast, n-gage, etc. Not only modern android, ios, windows, mac or linux.)

>considering it's the best game ever made
context and reading comprehension are important. now honestly compare its popularity to zelda or some other console crap that tops best games lists.

What's Steel Panthers like compared to Panzer General?

>> No.5708972

>>5707867
Panzer General scale is bigger,i think that each hex represents one or two kms,in Steel Panthers a hex is 50 m and you control single units/squads.

The Commander Keen games had a surprisingly active modding community, with a ton of mods for the original Vorticon trilogy and a few very high quality mods for the better Galaxy engine games
