R.E.L.I.V.E.: replacing the engines for Abe’s Oddysee and Abe’s Exoddus

R.E.L.I.V.E. develops a cross-platform engine intended to replace the original PC executables for Abe’s Oddysee and Abe’s Exoddus. It runs with the player's game files and provides controller support, display options, and a level editor. The project reports that both games are playable, with bugs and crashes still possible.
