Dune - A Reverse Engineering Project

I’m slowly working on reverse engineering all the files for an old DOS game called Dune. I have a few sessions per year when I sit down and focus on a part for a few days. And every now and then I write a blog post about what I have found.

I have no idea how long it will take until I’m done, but it will probably take several years.
