Game History Preservation Links

[snake-biscuits]

Don't really have anywhere to credit these sources in docs until I find something
For now I want to keep links to a few sites that've really helped with research

Was searching to figure out is Daikatana was ever made Open-Source
They got a Linux port, like most 90's Quake-based games

Findings:

• DaikatanaNews.net
  • OpenKatana, last updated: 2013
    • OldTimes Software: OpenKatana Devs
      • The Data Dungeon: Pre-release Archive (demos etc.)
• Daikatana Restoration Project
  Like Daikatana 1.3, but less Closed-Source

Nested because one site led to the next

The Data Dungeon has a lot of interesting stuff:

• Dark Messiah of Might & Magic demo & sdk
• Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines community patch & sdk

Some pages even have internet archive references!
No links to the ModDB & PlanetVampire archives of the above sdks tho

The devs are also on GitHub: TalonBrave.info
As are OldTimes Software

DKRP includes qfiles.h

There's even some references to what changes each increment of BSP_VERSION added

Found this while looking into the GINSU.INI in Quake 3 (Dreamcast) .cdi files
