I don't know if this has been posted already, but anyway ....
Over the years I know a lot of fellow fans of AB3D that have expressed their wish to see it running in fullscreen 1x1 mode.
There's a chap called binaryfoundry posting over at EAB that's decided to make this happen. Using AI tools to assist the conversion of the original 68K assembly code to functionally equivalent C he has an engine that loads the original assets and levels. Not a remake written from scratch, but the same fundamental rendering algorithms that were in the original game right down to the fixed point arithmetic and packed 3 columns per word texturing. It's for the PC (technically for SDL) for the moment and completely lifts the lid on the resolution. A recent update has the water refraction working and it all runs in glorious software rendered RGB. It's still a work in progress but already it looks great.
