Xargon - Copyright 1992-1994 Allen Pilgrim This port of Xargon is Copyright 2011 Adam Nielsen malvineous@shikadi.net The included DOSBox OPL synth is Copyright 2002-2010 The DOSBox Team

You will need SDL and libgamemusic available to build this port.
Build instructions:
./autogen.sh # Only needed if building git version ./configure && make
This will produce ./src/xrfile01 which should be placed in the same directory as the Xargon data files (just like the DOS .EXE file.) If you don't have the data files handy, all three episodes have been released as freeware and can be downloaded from http://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Xargon.html
If you encounter any problems with this port or need help, please ask on the RGB Classic Games forum at http://www.classicdosgames.com/forum/ You can also get help here if you are stuck somewhere in the game!
Known issues:
-
Some tiles don't animate (e.g. ocean below waterfall on first level.)
-
Will only run on little-endian CPUs due to endian-specific file handling.
