RodLegacy: reimplementing Street Rod and Street Rod 2

RodLegacy reimplements Street Rod and Street Rod 2 in C++ for modern systems, reading game data from user-supplied Amiga disk images. Its game code covers cars, races, scenes, sound and save files, with optional car-set mixing and several soundtrack sources. The author describes both games as playable while development and bug fixing continue.
