In the olden days we used SDL ports of games that used a framebuffer, just the same as in DOS.

In the olden DOS days, we used stuff like Allegro to make games that used the framebuffer.

Allegro is still a thing among some hobbyists, I used it years ago for dome experiments first on Windows and then on Linux.

That's so cool to hear! I have fond memories of Allegro and DJGPP

I recall compiling several versions years ago.

Any port that uses SDL (which is most of them) can be made to run like this.
