# Tiberian Sun and Firestorm: static recompilation of Game.exe

> Tiberian Sun and Firestorm recompiles the games' Win32 Game.exe into native C with pcrecomp and a game-specific host. The author reports playable menus, skirmishes and early campaign missions, with high-resolution display and a native Linux build. Lifted C is generated locally from the owner's game copy.
