Companions of Xanth

A free, non-commercial fan preservation passion project for everyone’s enjoyment. The public Linux alpha.5 preview needs your own matching XANBUD game files; no game data is supplied.

This is a VM-assisted port, not a completed native rewrite: the retail EXE/OVL runs under the project's 16-bit CPU and DOS/BIOS layer, with a growing set of source-backed native hooks. Most game code remains interpreted. Byte-matching the decompilation is a separate measure from native execution and full-game compatibility.

The README’s player-facing route reaches Fairy Nuff’s recipe and shows 122/1000. Release notes describe checkpoint tooling reaching the Region of Fire through charcoal, with newer destinations offered only after local building and verification. The full game is not completable yet. See Installation and Setup, Controls and Options and Known Issues.
