Skyroads is a great game from 1993. It can be downloaded for free from the developer's homepage: http://www.bluemoon.ee/history/skyroads/index.html
Unfortunately the source code was never published. However I have found some interesting facts on a German gp2x forum: http://forum.gp2x.de/viewtopic.php?t=3652&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
They're working on a port of the game for the gp2x, and they sent an e-mail to the developer and they even received the original source code. But the developers didn't want to publish the code free for all, but only for a private project... (I don't really get what that means...)
However, some clones of Skyroads can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/search/?type_of_search=soft&words=skyroads
So, a port might be possible for the psp? I mean, if they are allowed to make a port for the gp2x, why not for the psp? I don't get what is meant by the developers not releasing the code under GPL, but giving it to some private coders. But I still hope that this is possible...
