I'm writing a decompiler for Turbo Pascal 3.0, to reverse engineer an educational game from the 80s.

Since TP 3.0 does no optimisations, and looking at the progress so far (~25% decompiled), it seems like matching decompilation should be achievable.

If/when I get to 100%, I hope to make the process of annotating the result (Func13_var_2_2 is hardly an informative variable name) into a community project.

A bit of a niche game: https://www.mobygames.com/game/63804/socher-hayam/

Although it has cult status in Israel for some reason.
