Why bother with this; it has already been done, including comments! There
were 2 different Mac programmers who came out with object code ports of
Battlezone for the Mac after disassembling the ROMs. It was a truly
infamous computer fiasco with each guy acusing the other guy of stealing his
work/idea/etc and in the end both guys and both games essentially vanished.
However, with a little bit of digging, one should be able to find out who
the 2 guys were (I seriously don't remember but it was about 6 years ago)
and get the info from them. The story is that the original source code is
in Fortran and one of the guys actually had a paper copy from which he
produced his port.
