I remember loving this way back in the day. What an amazing labor of love. I hope the original devs can learn how loved their original creation remains.

This is great. It's so good to have this game maintained by the community. I played this game so much as a kid and have returned to it many times since. I think I'm due another go! 😈
I was thinking about Dungeon Keeper recently. I was really hoping since 2 Point revived Theme Hospital the may do the same for this other Bullfrog classic.
I have not heard of this FX thing. I may have to try it out. I always felt there was a lot more potential to this game that was never recognized. Maybe this will do a better job of it.
Has anyone done anything with Populous?

You've sent me down a nostalgia road with your mention of Populous. Here's what I found, and I'll be digging into tomorrow.
Has some1 tested this under Wine/Proton yet? I love community remakes! ManicMiner (Lego Rock Raiders remake) and OpenTyrian being one of my favourites. So many childhood memories of the 90ies gaming era coming back with stuff like this.
Do you know some more hidden remake gems?
From the download page:
Currently only Windows is supported, but Linux and Mac users can use Wine .
Do you know some more hidden remake gems?
OpenRCT2, eDuke32 and other Build Engine source ports, Doom has many source ports
and ScummVM for many old adventure games
I might have to try this. I bought a copy of Dungeon Keeper from the bargain bin, and by that time my PC was so much faster that the AI just steamrolled me every time.
