Bermuda Syndrome

About

This program is a reverse-engineered re-implementation of the engine used in the game Bermuda Syndrome, developed by Century Interactive (now Reakktor Studios) and published by BMG in 1995.

This modern port was created by Grégory "cyxx" Montoir by reverse engineering the original Windows executable and porting it to cross-platform compatible technology such as SDL2.

The original data files for either the full or demo version of the game are required.

More information about the game can be found on Mobygames.

Running

By default, the engine will try to load the game data files from the DATA directory. Saved games are stored in the current working directory. If you have the CD game soundtrack, you can rip the tracks to 22 Khz stereo Vorbis .ogg files.

For the Korean version of the game, you will also need the BT16.TBM file from a Windows 3.x installation. The file is 330328 bytes long and should be copied in the same directory as the bs executable.
