Photon, my objective is not to do any remake.
By reverse engineering Gods, i understand how old games were coded. Each time i disassemble a game i find new coder tricks. On top of that, we discover some hidden stuffs in some games.
The viewer is only the tip of the iceberg i'm glad to share with the community. The viewer is user-friendly, so everyone can use it.
The big work i keep private (until someone asks for it) is the partly disassembled and commented source code of the game, only advanced users may find it useful (to code a remake for example).

If you had visited my website, you would have seen my remake of Colonial Conquest. It adds multiplayer support and custom maps.
Anyway, I forgive you not to have seen it because it's an "Atari only" game not ported on Amiga.

Sorry Jotd, Magic Pockets is not on my todo list. I haven't played it very much compared to other games. I found it so difficult, past the first levels.

Thank you Codetapper. Being french, i didn't know this article. Very interesting.
