I started going through the code line by line, the ambitious goal would be to rewrite it again myself if I don't jump onto another project, or find some people to help/take over (would take years with my speed/free time).

I had no idea there was a lager port. The original DOS release I could never get the audio working even with SBMM.SYS

Didn't play it back in the day. I'm in a dungeon crawler phase, got Hired Guns big box and started digging. tl;dr, an AGA port "leaked" in 21: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/09/hire... Liked the atmosphere and wanted to play the best version on PC, so downloaded the source and started poking around.

Huh was there an uncompiled later DOS one in the source?

You can find the files (absolutely-not-leaked-by-the-cool-dev) and more info here: tcrf.net/Development:... Haven't seen the DOS sources, just Amiga assembly.
