I recently reverse-engineered another game from the 80's, and had a similar issue because it was written with Turbo Pascal.

The different tools didn't like quirks such as data stored inline between the instructions or every library function having a different calling convention.

Turns out the simplest way to handle this was to write my own decompiler, since Turbo Pascal 3 didn't do any optimisations.
