OpenMW: Playing Morrowind in an open source, crossplatform game engine.

OpenMW is an open source game engine that can be used to play Morrowind. (There is an unfinished “Example Suite”, a CC0 licensed game data that can be used instead of Morrowind game data, so technically OpenMW does not play just Morrowind. Feel free to come help finish the Example Suite)
Skywind is remake / reimagining of Morrowind game in a modified Skyrim engine.
