Beasts and Bumpkins: 3 Open Source Clones Compared
None of the three are playable remakes of the game itself: BBTools is a MAP/savegame and sprite viewer for inspecting the original game's files; Beasts and Bumpkins Fan Patch is a patch for an existing install that fixes Windows compatibility issues and removes the CD requirement, adding an unofficial 1280x720 display mode and a cheat console; and utkencode is a set of command-line encoders/decoders for the MicroTalk audio codec used by several EA games of the era, including Beasts and Bumpkins' speech data.
