Fabio Makita builds launchers to run old racing games on modern PCs

Solo developer Fabio Makita (@AkitaOnRails) built launchers that bring older racing games, including Colin McRae, DiRT (2007), Screamer, OutRun 2006: Coast to Coast and Sega Rally Revo, to modern PCs.

He says he wanted to revive games he owns, some of which are abandonware, and describes the process in a blog post. Each launcher is published as a separate GitHub repository. The report does not say how the launchers handle compatibility or whether they use AI in a specific way beyond the story's framing.
