Can I play Commodore 16 games natively on PC?

Not as finished native ports yet; the 1 projects below show how far each has got.

What is the difference between a Commodore 16 decomp and a recomp?

A decompilation rewrites the game's machine code as readable C that rebuilds the original; a static recompilation translates the machine code mechanically into C/C++ that runs natively. Recomps arrive faster; decomps are easier to mod and port.

Are these Commodore 16 projects legal?

They publish code only, and the ones that need game data ask you to supply it from a copy you own. Recomp never links to ROMs, ISOs or game files.
