DOS Game "F-15 Strike Eagle II" reversing project needs DOS test pilots
The project to reverse-engineer the 1989 DOS game F-15 Strike Eagle II has reached a milestone where the C source code is largely reconstructed. The developers are now seeking community test pilots to identify bugs in the new executable.
Why it matters
This demonstrates the capabilities of community-driven software preservation and open-source reverse engineering.
