Another World JS: a browser port interpreting the game's bytecode

Another World JS ports Another World to an HTML5 browser runtime by implementing its 26 game bytecode opcodes in JavaScript. Extraction scripts convert original DOS and 15th anniversary data files into JavaScript input; the port adds palette switching, alternate resolutions and rewind.
