I reverse engineered and ported this old DOS real-mode game to modern SDL running on x86_64 Linux. I'm trying to find the author - Tim Furnish, or anyone else involved in preservation of this game, like Kieran Millar or Stan Stoyanov.

this is awesome. I have a ton of nostalgia towards making what is old new again, but still the unadulterated original. I hope you find Tim, Kieran, or Stoyanvoy!

Great work. I hope we will see a lot of preservation work done now that AI can help with that. I did something very similar recently: https://github.com/VorticonCmdr/pushover
