Port request: Lugaru, Gish, Aquaria & Penumbra overture
 
The Humble Bundle (read it up, also if you're quick you can do your part too) made over $1M, so most of the indie game studios are open sourcing the games in the bundle:

Now it's our turn to give back. As of 5/11/10, Aquaria, Gish, Lugaru HD, and Penumbra Overture pledge to go open source. We are preparing the sources right now and will be releasing them ASAP. We spent last night preparing Lugaru and it is available now. The code is still a little rough (no Visual Studio project yet, for instance) but hopefully with the help of the community we can rapidly make it more accessible to everyone.
This means it's at least theoretically possible to port these to maemo (they're already cross-platform and run on general Linux so it should not be quite the impossibly herculean task porting normally is).

Penumbra overture on the N900? Wow. That would be Epic. But how many frames per second would it get?

I was about to start a thread for this but luckily someone's already on it. Here are links to each developer's site: Aquaria, Gish,http://www.wolfire.com/lugaru, and Penumbra Overture. Lugaru's source is available here.

Good on em for an incredibly impressive idea! Goes to show where the big companies have lost it. Sure, they may have sold a few copies for 15 cents.. but when distribution costs so little: Charge less, Sell more!

On topic:
Would love to see any of these ported.. but I'm not hopeful.

The Gp32x community are a good possibility for help on getting these ported, the release of the community developed open handheld, the Pandora is imminent, like the N900 it is also ARM based with very similar hardware. It obviously has dedicated gaming controls so theres a big incentive to port open source games. If these get ported to the Pandora, then most of the hard work will be done to get them running on Maemo.

Penumbra would be very nice! I played it on my PC. I like this dark atmosphere ...

It appears that the source code to Gish has just been released:

Wow ... I've all but forgotten about these, especially in the wave of these new feature-packed A9 devices
