TODOs

  • Refactor the engine

Nice to have

  • Original OS/2 map present in a DAT file for the Win version, which requires some legal issues to be fixed.
  • The original code also had support for 256 color mode, which we dropped during refactoring.. gameplay only uses 256 colors, although the cutscenes are in SVGA. In theory a 256 color game mode could be re-introduced, although I'm not certain whether there are VGA versions of the cutscenes in all game releases.. some SVGA dithering could become necessary.
