It's a completely new world. Random retro games I ported to modern webgl/webgpu in the last few months:

- The Adventures of Robin Hood - Opus 4.7/Sonnet https://robin.tooclever.org

- Syndicate - Sol/Luna 5.6/Opus ( https://this.os.isfine.org/blog/posts/modern-game-port-syndi... )

- Kaiser 2

- Populous Plus - Sol/Luna 5.6/Opus

- Dragon Strike - (Fable 5.1 almost one shot)

- War of the Lance - Qwnen-3.7-27B-dense (got stuck, finished with) Qwen-3.8-Flash-Next https://this.os.isfine.org/blog/posts/what-reverse-engineeri...

- Dungeon Keeper - Various

- Red Baron - Opus 4.8, DeepSeek 4

- Test Drive 3 (Qwen-3.8-Flash Next, DeepSeek-4-Flash-exp, GLM-5.3-Flash)

- In progress Ultima 6 ... to 3d (Fable, GLM-5.3) ( https://this.os.isfine.org/#ultima6-atlas )

Some straight source ports (Kaiser), some full RE jobs (Dragon Strike, Test Drive, WOTL)

Some a mix of available sources (Syndicate, Populous)

Some of the findings are documented here: https://this.os.isfine.org/blog/
