Well I am a big retro fan and always will be... So I decided to maybe give a hand to devs/coders and came across some open-source games that might be interesting ports. here goes:

Alien vs. Predator: Since the game is coming to the PSP why not open appetites with the old one? link http://3ddownloads.com/Action/Aliens%20vs.%20Predator/Tools/avptools.zip

Civilization: Call to power 2: Well CivPSP was cancelled so why not someone port this? link http://liberatedgames.com/game.php?game_id=50

The Elder Scrolls: The Arena: Another appetizer for another up and coming PSP game... Link http://liberatedgames.com/game.php?game_id=26

Homeworld: This one might be just a dream of mine... But hey! I can dream right? Link http://liberatedgames.com/game.php?game_id=22

X-Men: The Ravages of Apocalypse: I have no knowledge of this game but a friend of mine told me it was nice... So why not? An X-Men game is always nice. Link http://liberatedgames.com/game.php?game_id=101

If I knew anything about deving i would do this myself... And pls don't flame me... Just trying to help ;)

No source = no port.

the sources are on the links.. that's why I bothered to put them... in fact the AvP links directly to the source files...

edit: in all fairness to yaustar he must have seen so many people coming and asking for ports out of the blue that he just felt i was one more of the bunch...

AvP: They only released tools for mods, not source code to the engine or game.

Civ: Source OK.

The Elder Scrolls: No source.

Homeworld: Source OK.

X-Men: The Ravages of Apocalypse: Mod of an existing Open source engine. OK.

Edit: Admittedly, I did jump the gun because my knowledge, none of the games was open source.
