On the ground, combat units are moving away to the east, and in the air, a ship is approaching from the northeast. Numerous ground-to-ground and ground-to-air cannons surround the camp.

๐Ÿ“š๏ธ Zero-K is a (partially, see Wikipedia for the sound: CC BY-NC-ND) libre, multi-platform, single-player / multi-player RTS game with a sci-fi theme, a simple economy based on metal & energy, and featuring classic gameplay (4X for map supremacy) or tower defense (vs. increasingly powerful waves of monsters). The player starts with a mecha, extracts resources, builds his army and faces adversity on land, air & sea. A mature game designed by and for gamers, with 70+ missions, 100+ units, a clear interface, and an accomplished lobby client (solo/multi up to 32 players, co-op vs. other players and/or AIs, PVP, campaigns, content & player rating, content loading, fine tuning, ...). Fantastic!

In the background, a guard is blocking the entrance, and further away, a kind of puppet is moving across the grass. Link is wearing a mask that he cannot remove at the moment.

๐Ÿ“š๏ธ The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is a commercial 3D action-adventure game released in 2000 (by Nintendo EAD) on the Nintendo 64. It is the sixth installment in the series and the second in 3D (after Ocarina of Time). A few months after Ocarina of Time, Link travels to Terminaโ€”a parallel world to Hyruleโ€”in search of his friend, the fairy Navi. Along the way, he encounters a goblin named Skull Kid, who steals his horse and ocarina and transforms him into Mojo Pests. Skull Kid also stole a powerful relic from a merchantโ€”the Mask of Majoraโ€”and used it to pull the moon out of its orbit so that it would fall on Termina in three days... Link must explore dungeons, solve puzzles, and battle monsters in an attempt to save Termina. 2 Ship 2 Harkinian (2S2H) is a libre, multi-platform engine compatible with game data (Nintendo 64 format ROM). It features support for modern hardware, improved graphics, gamepad and force feedback support, and mods. Generally speaking, the interface is less appealing than that of the Zelda64Recomp engine, but it offers much more comprehensive settings (by far).

๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ The game screen is very small (corresponding to the specifications of the NES, whose display is 256ร—240 pixels). A bird's-eye view of a Zelda-style game, where Link (the protagonist) is walking along a paved road, approaching a house in the middle of the woods. A mini-map at top left suggests a very large map.

๐Ÿ“š๏ธ ZQuest Classic is a libre, multi-platform, mature action-RPG engine, that comes with a clone of the NES version of The Legend of Zelda (1986, Nintendo). It lets you play numerous games (700 quests as of June 2023, mostly Zelda-like) designed by the community, and easily develop them thanks to its comprehensive, intuitive editor, which requires no programming (apart from the optional scripting language for extended functions), and also delivers data sets (traditional/improved). The project has brought together a community that has developed significant content, and its development is sustained.

At the bottom center a small interface shows the weapons carried and their loading status. At the top left, buttons to access the menus, at the top right a log window, and at the bottom right a small interface summarizing the equipment carried.

๐Ÿ“š๏ธ Space Station 14 is a libre, multi-platform online sandbox action RPG (derived from the game Space Station 13, which it improves and liberates) where players live aboard a space station, all with great freedom of action and scenarios (depending on the servers). Some players play as members of the space station, with different roles assigned, others are assigned antagonistic roles, with the objective of disrupting the station's mission. It can also be played as a simple shooter on the same station! Excellent!

๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ Its user interface (v. 4.5, with a dark theme on my Linux PC) with MAdvanced Vehicle Controller, an acrobatic driving simulation (comes with a few jumps, and the game works natively with the gamepad) available from its interface.

Everything is configurable - including the layout of its interface and the internalization or externalization of the game window.

๐Ÿ“š๏ธ Godot Engine is a high-performance, libre (very permissive MIT license, no hidden fees), multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine and IDE, extremely feature-rich with a vast set of tools, enabling the developer to create his multi-platform game from scratch without requiring any external tools other than the usual content creation tools (graphics and sound; it includes a tile map editor), and to concentrate on his game without having to reinvent the wheel. It also features an intuitive scripting language (GDScript, inspired by Python and other languages) and can be used with most programming languages.

๐Ÿ“š๏ธ The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a commercial 3D action-adventure game released in 1998 (by Nintendo EAD) on the Nintendo 64. It is the fifth installment in the series, and the first in 3D (the second is Majora's Mask).  Link, a young boy living in a lost village in the forest, goes to the dying Great Deku Tree, who entrusts him with the Spirit Stone of the Forest and sends him to Hyrule Castle to speak to Zelda, the princess of Hyrule. She tells him that Ganondorf, the evil king of the Gerudo, is searching for the Triforce, a sacred relic split into three stones that gives its holder divine power. He must obtain the three stones, enter the sacred kingdom, and summon the Triforce before Ganondorf. Ship of Harkinian (SoH) is a libre, multi-platform engine that is compatible with its data (Nintendo 64 format ROM). It notably provides support for modern hardware (with adjustable display frequency and support for custom textures and models), saves, multiplayer (the second player can take control of Ivan the Fairy), a cheat menu, a randomizer (to add randomness to game elements), gamepad and force feedback support, and mods (especially the high-resolution mod).

๐Ÿ“š๏ธ Ebitengine is a libre, multi-platform game engine for the Go programming language. It makes it quick and easy to develop 2D games that can be deployed on many platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, web browsers, Nintendo Switchโ„ข). In this engine, everything is an image: the screen, data from an image file and even off-screen items are all represented as image objects. Most rendering operations involve drawing one image on top of another. The resulting games run very fast, thanks to the power of the GPU.
