I've been resurrecting SDL Sopwith recently, which I haven't touched in years. Here are the first screenshots of the SDL2 port, which is using the hardware screen scaling code from Chocolate Doom to run at 1024x600 (it previously could only do 640x400).
Did some work yesterday putting together packaging for the macOS version and uh... I guess I just can't help myself
So uh... I think Sopwith is older than any of these? (1984)

Nethack is technically slightly older since it's derived from Hack (came out January 1984). But I'm struggling to find any other counterexamples
So, discovered yesterday that the movement code in SDL Sopwith had been broken for 20 years https://github.com/fragglet/sdl-sopwith/commit/ab5ad8d869d4fe946b9ff98a5169668e6708565a
I only found out because someone reported a bug where you could stop the plane in mid-air if you flew slowly enough
SDL Sopwith 2.0.0 is now out
Fixed that social card so that it points to the right URL.
I think I have a good 404 page: https://fragglet.github.io/sdl-sopwith/asdf
