-for gamers: near to null (the game runs flawless in dosbox)
-for developers: a nice technical journey (see github history) for developers about reversing a dos game loader (disassembling, analysis, porting, etc.)
-for reversers: the game executables now getting uncompressed and the starting of the game is well documented
- its the perfect start if one ever wanted to reverse engineer the game code itself
