# Coney: reimplementing The Warriors

> Coney reimplements The Warriors (2005) in C++ for Windows, Linux, and macOS. The PlayStation 2 version is the reference for how the game plays, and the Xbox port is a second source for rendering and assets. With a disc it plays the startup movies and the front end, and runs levels as far as the missions page records.
