A bunch of old PC game ports

So, I figured I'd take a little time to show you guys some interesting ports that are either finished, or in the works.
 
Lucius' Dark Forces port: http://darkxl.wordpress.com/
 
Lucius' Daggerfall port: http://daggerxl.wordpress.com/
 
OpenGL port for the first two Descent games: http://www.dxx-rebirth.com/
 
And lastly, one of my favorite porting efforts, eduke32, the Duke Nukem 3D port: http://eduke32.com/
 
It should be noted that both of Lucius' port projects are still in the works, but they're worth keeping an eye on. I hope you guys get some use out of these, as I have.  
 

Wait, ports to what? These seem to be more like graphical upgrades. Interesting, but I'd be a bit more interested in seeing some of these games either being made freeware or at least being put on Live Arcade.

Ooooh! Daggerfall port!
 
Ooooh! Duke Nukem port!
 
It's like Christmas in here. Looking good so far.

DaggerXL is be just an engine, you need the original game data to play. I will not distribute any Daggerfall assets or knowingly provide information on obtaining free copies of the game – other then the version provided by Bethesda themselves. This is a legal project, I do not intent to step on Bethesda’s toes or violate their copyrights."

" @Video_Game_King: Basically, fishcake is right. Though, in this sense, it's a port to the XP and Vista platforms (32-64 bit). Hope that clears it up more. "

It's still possible to play dos games on XP/Vista providing you know how to use DOSBOX/SCUMM but it's a bit of a headache for some people.
 
Besides. An updated port with some extras/bug fixes are obviously good things. Daggerfall is notorious for having a lot of bugs though...that could take a while.

Pretty much, yea. However, from this new understanding arises a new question: will the original developers eventually catch wind of this? If so, what's gonna happen? Legal issues, or perhaps turning them into a team designed to port old engines to new systems? "
