Reverse engineering of game Magic Carpet 2 from assembler to c/c++ language
STATUS: full playable, in testing
To start the game, it needs data from the original distribution, which you can download at the minimum fee here:
https://www.gog.com/game/magic_carpet_2_the_netherworlds
(or from any abbadone archive, if it is legal in your country)
Now you can only compile only 32-bit binary version (64bit will be available after rewriting all arrays to structures).
