Reuromancer: porting Neuromancer to 64-bit Windows

Reuromancer ports the MS-DOS game Neuromancer to 64-bit Windows. Its engine uses reverse-engineered game routines and adapted disassembled code, while a separate resource browser examines and exports resources from the game's DAT files. Running the port requires the user's own DOS game data.
