I'd like to catalog all of the doorgames with available source code.
My personal reason for this is because I want to get them to compile
and work for me with potential changes, updates, etc., but also
because I use linux for my BBS OS and want more native games :)

I figured if I go through doing all of that, I may as well have a list
here of everything we figure out. Thanks.

I had an idea to rewrite games from scratch using Free Pascal and
using the FPC source code they can be cross compiled to Windows, DOS,
Linux, macOS, etc. Using the DOOR32.SYS format.

I'd start out with Food Fite, Batman, Max Headroom, Murder Hotel, etc.
But I am sick and too tired to do anything about it.

Pascal source code for several Mythyn Software doors from the early
1990s, most notably [Thieves'
Guild](https://breakintochat.com/blog/2020/09/15/thieves-guild-
memories/), is available here:
https://github.com/Kirkman/mythyn-archive. Most of these were for the
Atari ST, though TG was ported to the PC.

Craig Hendricks and I made some tweaks to the TG PC source code that
enabled it to compile under Turbo Pascal 7. That revised code is here:

Javascript code for my Synchronet door "Doubles" is here:

Great idea! Compile these old games on modern compilers!

The source code for Usurper is available. It's still being actively
maintained, too :)

Source code for some Major BBS games is floating around.

Fucking shame so more of it is still not public, but I still hold out
hope folks will come around.
