KULT: a C reconstruction of the Atari ST game's core

kult-atari-st-c hand-reimplements the core of the Atari ST game Kult: The Temple of Flying Saucers in documented C, using an assembly decompilation as its behavioral reference. A Musashi-based differential harness runs original routines and compares memory and registers with the C candidates. The repository supplies core code and tests.
