Igor: interpreting the original Objetivo Uikokahonia executable

Igor runs the Spanish CD release of Igor: Objetivo Uikokahonia through an x86 decoder and interpreter built from analysis of the original executable. It extracts game data and replaces higher-level palette, display and input routines, with separate notes on the executable's structure.
