List of Java open source games first to be improved

In the last post I laid out the general approach of how I want to improve open source games. I wanted to start with inactive Java games. I had a look at the database and decided to first go for mature projects and then for unfinished projects. Within each group I will advance chronologically, i.e. start with those that have been inactive for the longest time (at least since 2016). The list is then:
