Test Drive II: The Duel: an SDL3 reconstruction of the DOS EGA game

Test Drive II: The Duel is reimplemented in C for SDL3 from analysis of the DOS EGA game. The port loads the user's original executable and data, while accompanying tools unpack EXEPACK files, disassemble x86 code and decode resource archives. Function indexes, porting specifications and file-format notes document the reconstruction.
