Reverse-Engineered Atari Game Source Code Released; Baldur's Gate TV Series in Development

A fully reverse-engineered and commented source code for the Atari 2600 classic "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released, while a television series based on the popular "Baldur's Gate" video game franchise is in development. The TV adaptation, helmed by Craig Mazin, will continue the storyline of the games, but without the direct involvement of the original game developers.

The source code for "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was made available on GitHub by joshuanwalker, allowing for a deeper understanding of the 1982 Atari game. The project, reorganized for a clean development workflow, includes the main assembly source, header files, build tools, and emulator executables. The repository contains the fully reverse-engineered and commented source code for the Atari 2600 classic, according to the source.

Meanwhile, the "Baldur's Gate" TV series, drawing from multiple news sources, is being developed by Craig Mazin, known for his work on "The Last of Us" adaptation and "Chernobyl." The series will continue the storyline of the game series, which has sold over 20 million copies. However, Larian Studios, the original developers, will not be directly involved in the adaptation, which has raised some concerns among fans, according to the BBC.

In other news, GOG is actively developing native Linux support for its Galaxy client, signaling the growing importance of Linux in PC gaming, according to The Verge.
