It's not a port, it's a remake.

Remake? Transfusion was a remake, this will use the original game data.

It's reverse-engineered.

It must be, since the source code still isn't out. Too bad they're too proud to release it.

Remake in terms of the executable. You would have a hard time reverse-engineering the source, and that sort of thing has already been attempted with ReBlood, and Transfusion... and ZBlood... and Cradle to Grave...

That's not quite the case. From what I can gather, all roads lead to Atari owning the rights, though they're not quite sure about this themselves apparently. Atari has a strict 'No Source Code' Policy, mainly because Atari hasn't produced any of the games that would warrant a source code release, and they don't really give a shit about the old franchises they own.

Exactly. For it to be considered a port, it has to at least port portions of the source.

I see now. I thought ports were only new executables with the original game data. Let's hope this one works out. There was an attempt called winblood based on JonoF's ports, but died too soon.

Why does everyone want a port to windows? It's still pretty fine on DosBox.

Depends on your system. Mine, for example, isn't strong enough to emulate DOS.

Blood has a hard time running well in higher resolution in DosBox on slower machines, plus who doesn't want a port?

I would also like Blood with widescreen and the DOS version doesn't have that. :(
