Cheats/remakes/source ports that fixed or improved upon games

Oh, that guy is still working on it? He fucked off a million years ago without updating anyone. I'll believe it when I see it if it finally happens.
Afaik his earlier attempt went over his head by trying to implement widely different games at the same time (Dark Forces/Outlaws, Daggerfall, and Blood), this most recent attempt is a proper reverse-enginering project of Dark Forces only, and even if he fucks off again, this time he did made it open source so that someone else can take over it.

 
While true, Daggerfall Unity making guild reputation decay work as intended makes the game worse. I haven't checked for a while, so maybe they added a toggle for that or maybe there's mod for it. (For the uninitiated, you lose reputation with guilds with the passage of time. In the original, it's no big deal since the only effect is that you get kicked out of the guild once it goes low enough and you can just do a bunch of quests for one guild at once to get some buffer. Unity makes you actually lose ranks in the guild as your reputation goes down which makes it harder to build a buffer.) Not a big deal if you just want to finish the game, since the Mages Guild has all the important services and is the easiest guild to build reputation with, but annoying if you want to do silly stuff like getting a house for free.
I've never had a problem with reputation decay. It seems like it's one point every month or so, so one quest per half year is enough to keep your reputation at exactly the same level.
