I created this post for you guys to post about official ports/source ports for your favourite oldschool titles. Here's a little list of some games you can play on android:-
Metal Gear (officially ported on java phones)
Doom (officially port by bethesda)
Shadow warrior classic redux (ported by 3D Realms)
Raze/Zeta touch (a source port on which you can run multiple build games including ion fury and 'Nam)
Rott touch (ported by beloko games)
Delta touch (a compilation of doom 1,2 and 3 source ports for android by beloko games)
Quad touch (similar to delta touch but here you can play quake 1,2 and 3)
Alpha touch (a compilation of source ports for RTCW, Blakestone, Rott and Wolf3D by beloko)
Duke Nukem 3D (officially ported by machinework northwest)
Xash 3D (a reversed engineered source port for GoldSrce engine)
ScummVm (a source port for classic LucasArts games such as monkey island)

You can post more titles here
Anyway here's a picture of Duke Nukem 3D running on my late grandfather's 10-12 years old phone (Micromax AD3520 500 mb of ram)

Marathon has a strange port for iOS. Most ports of the game work by making you restart the game if you want to change any menu options, but this one allows you to do it like most FPS titles. If I'm not mistaken, its not AlephOne like all the other ports, but rather a somewhat official port.

Doom II port by Bethesda
Commander Genius (aka Commander Keen) port by Gerhard Stein (it was maybe 3 games in 1 pack if i remember correctly? I can´t launch it now on mobile for some reason)
Golden Axe ("Classics") port by SEGA (3 games in 1 pack)

Tomb Raider port from mob.org I remember?

I played it. The weapons were nerfed (or at least the rocket launcher) in order to force you to buy ammo, that alone made it terrible 🤦

I found a genius guy on reddit who found a way to run games exclusive to nvidia shield on android 9 and above(root required). I am still trying to figure out how to root my android 11 but I am posting this link here anyway in case someone finds helpful
https://www.reddit.c...d_with_gltools/
For those who don't know there are many great titles that were ported to nvidia shield here are a few of them:-
Portal 1
Half-life 2
Doom 3
Metal gear solid 2 and 3
Metal gear rising reveangence(not an old school game but it's still cool)
Tomb Raider 2013(same case as mgr reveangence)

[DualBackdrop365]

Back when doom 3 was released an average computer could barely run it on low graphics settings but nowadays it can run on an average android with minimum 30 fps. Technology is advancing really quickly

[DualBackdrop365]

Here are a more titles
Postal 1
Grand Theft auto series(there are too many of them I'm not gonna list everyone of them)
Hotline miami 1 and 2
Hollow knight(I know it was released in 2019 but it's gameplay and mechanics were inspired by oldschool games)
Following games are ported by their dedicated community:-
Undertale
Risk of rain
Metrold 2
Super Mario 64
Spelunky

I've seen that one. The controls are really weird tbh

Also there's a port of aleph one for android under development

Here are some more ports I found:-
Aliens vs. Predator 2000 (Beloko made a port on it long time ago he mentioned that it's working fine for most part but he never released it)

Kwaak 3 (The first ever quake 3 source port for android. Was released around 2010)

Quakedroid (Port of Mark V quake source port for android)

RTCW4A, Qi4A, Qii4A, Qiii4A, Diii4A (all of these are source ports for Return to castle wolfenstein, quake 1, quake 2, quake 3, doom 3 respectively. Developed by n0n3m4)

Idtech4a++ (A collection of source port of id games and a few other games on same engine. It can run quake 1, quake 2, quake 3, quake 4, RTCW, doom 3 vanilla, doom 3 bfg, prey and the dark mod. Also it can run censored version doom 1 and 2 through bfg edition of doom 3)

RealMyst (A port of remake of original myst for android. If you want to play the original version of myst try scummvm)

Myst legacy (Port of original myst for ios only. About an year ago a remake was also released for ios if you want an alternative to classic version)

[DualBackdrop365]

I've found a really obscure port for dark forces for android (I'm not sure if it emulates the game or runs it natively). It's called playable dark forces and is available on amazon store.

[DualBackdrop365]

Ghouls and ghosts, Ghosts and goblins:- a not so great official port but hey at least it works on modern android

Rollercoaster tycoon:- I'm not quite sure if it's a remake or a remaster (I've never played the pc version) but I'm mentioning it anyway.

Fallout 1/2:- there are two options for these two games. Firstly there's fallout community edition which is most probably a source port. Performance wise is fantastic but unfortunately it's not very user friendly. The other option is fo2.exe which is probably an emulator (I tried asking the developer but he didn't replied). The framerate isn't as good as fallout CE. There are several mouse related issues with both of these. The only advantage fo2.exe has over fo CE is that fo2.exe can run fallout tactics and mods like fo Nevada. But other than that I prefer Fo CE over fo2.exe.

Planescape torment:- official port of enhanced edition

Devilution X:-a fan made port of diablo 1

[DualBackdrop365]

Another great title that I forgot to mention is retro city rampage and shakedown hawaii (only available on ios right now but I'm pretty sure it will be ported on android soon). Both of these are absolute masterpiece in my opinion

Stardew Valley on mobile, specifically the iOS port is great. The Castlevania SOTN port is also good. Or at good as it can be with touch controls. Thankfully the games support game controllers.

Yeah sotn on android is pretty great. They even added shortcuts for scrolls. Also how the hell do I remove the downvote I just gave to you
