About

A work-in-progress matching decompilation of KKND: Krush Kill 'n Destroy (Beam Software / Melbourne House, 1997) for MS-DOS. The goal is to recover readable C that, built with a period-correct Watcom toolchain, produces a binary byte-identical to the original KKND.EXE, and later a moddable full-source tree. The README reports 492 of 3713 functions in the main executable matched.

Getting started

You must own the game: the repository contains no executables, levels, sprites, sounds or other copyrighted assets. Copy your KKND CD into the dumps folder, install Open Watcom 1.9 or 2.0, then run the included Python tools to find and split functions and build. A successful build ends with a match against the retail executable.

What you need to run it

Original game files required. The project ships code only; you provide your own copy of the game.
