Awesome list of Free and Open Source game engines recreations and helper tools. All engines at this list are stable and provides fully playable gameplay. I keep this list mostly as own bookmarks and game history research file. All projects work well at Arch Linux at the time of the last edit.

Otherwise you can catch the "unable to save game" issue.
- Fallout 2 Community Edition - supports sfall improvements, also Nevada and Sonora. As developer says, "Fallout 2 Restoration Project, Fallout Et Tu and Olympus 2207 are not yet supported".
