alt Hacker NewsPlayable DOS version available
First step was the full reverse to assembler, second step is to convert the assembler to binary equal compiled C code, all this still on DOS until no assembler code is left, then the porting to Linux,Windows will start
Reversing tends to bring in new bugs and its not easy to find all bugs in such old and reversed code - but so far everything seems to work
try finding open bugs if you got version 451.03 of F-15 around combined with Dosbox or a real DOS
find latest DOS release here: https://github.com/neuviemeporte/f15se2-re/releases
the f15_se2-*.zip file contains the replacement executables for the DOS game

I'm currently reverse engineering a few games too. It's quite easy with AI now. But I'm worried about the legality of it all. Any thoughts on this?
Nice work!
I’m not sure you should beat yourself up too much for a Linix* port, emulators are so well supported and ubiquitous, if it works there (not everything does), call it a win!
I use Lutris (https://lutris.net/) for its ease of use.
I can see your a “low level mahn” and this may be more of a quest for you than playing a cool retro game.
Any which way, GREAT WORK!!!!
