# Blake Stone: static recompilation of Aliens of Gold and Planet Strike

> Blakestone statically recompiles Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold and Planet Strike from user-supplied DOS executables into native Windows, Linux and macOS programs. Its lift driver uses pcrecomp to translate 16-bit x86 functions to C, while a local runtime implements the DOS, video, audio and input services the games expect.
