FreeOrion, eine Nachbildung der erfolgreichen rundenbasierten Globalstrategiespielserie, wurde eineinhalb Jahre nach der letzten Ausgabe in einer neuen Version veröffentlicht. Die neue Version 0.4.9 verbessert unter anderem den Mehrspielermodus und vereinfacht die Bedienung.

Master of Orion ist ein rundenbasiertes Globalstrategiespiel aus dem Jahre 1993, das durch Simtex entwickelt und von MicroProse veröffentlicht wurde. Das Spiel stellte seinerzeit einen Meilenstein bei Simulationsspielen dar und war einer der ersten Vertreter des Globalstrategie- und 4X-Generes (Explore; Expand; Exploit; Exterminate). Das Umfeld des Spielgeschehens sind Planetensysteme in einer zufällig generierten Galaxie, wo der Spieler eine ganze planetare Rasse zur Herrschaft führen soll.

Wie auch Civilization startet das Spiel in einer frühen Phase der Entwicklungsstufe. Der Spieler erforscht Technologien, baut Raumschiffe und verbessert Einrichtungen. Gegnerische Spezies können entweder durch einen Kampf oder per Diplomatie bezwungen werden. Zudem erlaubt das Spiel, mit befreundeten Rassen Handel zu betreiben und Technologien untereinander zu transferieren. Ein Sieg kann entweder durch eine Eroberung oder durch Diplomatie erreicht werden.

Bereits seit 2003 entsteht unter dem Namen »FreeOrion« eine freie Implementierung des Originals. Das Spiel bildet viele Aspekte der Serie nach, implementiert aber auch zahlreiche eigene Ideen. Mit der nun freigegebenen Version 0.4.9 kommen knapp eineinhalb Jahre nach der letzten Version diverse weitere Neuheiten hinzu.

        Firing weapons uncloaks ships to all empires in combat, not just the owner of the target being fired upon
        Planets have an effective minimum infrastructure of 1 to trigger combat each turn to ensure there are no turns when invading isn't allowed due to cycling of meter growth and combat occurring

    Added safeguards on incoming message size before allocating memory to store it, to prevent denial of service attacks
    Various extensions / additions to the Python APIs
    Adjusted what ships are considered armed: direct weapons with > 0 damage, or fighters present that can be launched and that have > 0 damage, and not directly dependent on the ship design, which doesn't account for some weapon-modifying effects
    Ship designs must have fighter bays and hangars to be considered as having fighters, rather than needing just one of those part types
    Capped the per-message number of combat log entries sent to clients to avoid sending an overly large single message
    Reordered some save game data to avoid breaking a save file (as much) if the UI data is corrupted

    Added an option to enable/disable network binary serialization
    Screensaver is no longer enabled/disabled in response to window minimize, maximize, or restore events
    Prevent AIs from replaying turns after loading a game, unless specified in configuration

Transport Tycoon Deluxe war Mitte der 90er eines der ersten Tycoon-Spiele, in denen der Spieler seine eigene Transportfirma gründet und mit Bussen, LKWs, Zügen, Schiffen und Flugzeugen sein Geld verdienen muss. Das Open-Source-Projekt OpenTTD macht es möglich, Transport Tycoon als Klon auch auf einem Linux-Rechner zu spielen. Gegenüber dem Original wurden viele Bereiche des Spiels verbessert und erweitert. Die Bedienoberfläche ist an vielen Stellen intuitiver und komfortabler geworden. So gehören beliebig vergrößerbare und anheftbare Fenster, sortierbare Listen, Zusatzansichten oder ausführliche Informationsdialoge zu den auffälligsten Verbesserungen. Für das Spielgefühl hat sich auch einiges getan.

    Improvement: When using the Download Metadata and Media Wizard, the options to download or prioritize metadata/media for a given storefront will now only appear if you have titles from that storefront in your collection
    Fixed: Introduced in 10.14, some interface elements were using the system's default language instead of the language defined in the Options
    Fixed: Introduced in 10.14, running another instance of LaunchBox or Big Box was always showing the already running message box, even when using controller automation to focus LaunchBox or Big Box
    Fixed: Rare threading error that could pop up when submitting MAME high scores
    Fixed: Microsoft's DirectInput library fails to load up properly when starting immediately on Windows startup on some systems; we've added a workaround to hopefully prevent crashes in this case
    Fixed: The Chromium Embedded Framework is apparently refusing to shut down in some cases, which has been causing Big Box to not exit properly on occasion. We're now killing it in that case, which should fix any related Big Box shut down issues
    Fixed: If a recent or favorite game was selected when Big Box entered attract mode, it would incorrectly launch the game
    Fixed: Big Box losing focus no longer closes certain popup dialogs that should stay open
    Fixed: Big Box background music was not respecting the shuffle setting in all situations
    Fixed: Can now launch an additional application of a root game with a blank application path
    Fixed: The LaunchBox Game Details Sidebar wasn't properly hiding the Retro Score when disabled in the options menu
    Fixed: Clear logo and poster images were not always downloading properly from Steam when using the Import or Download Metadata and Media wizards
