Finally I've got some time to release my ancient games (made in mid/late 90s)

They run fine under DOSBOX.

A hardcore Filler clone. Up to 7 computer opponents.

Fox is a puzzle game. The goal is to find all the foxes in the field for as little steps as possible. Each number represents amount of foxes seen in column, row and diagonals.

Cool, but are they all Turbo Pascal? That might limit the usefulness of these games

I have seen a few great Turbo Pascal to C translators, which produce almost human-written code. Although all are commercial and out of print, so good luck locating a pirate copy. Maybe some Pascal enthusiasts still have them.

The other way is to first compile to x86 without optimizations, then use something like HexRays on it, but that will require a lot of manual work afterwards.

Probably it's a better approach to get this to compile with Freepascal. I compild old Pascal programs like this before and it worked rather well with a bit of work.

Yep, all of those are still TurboPascal.

Yes, of course... but there are a few problems with this:
1. Those games mainly use stuff like Int13H to set graphic mode, etc. I.e. they are written in DOS-approach. So a lot of the stuff will have to be rewritten, and I don't really think they worth it.
2. Those games were written at my school-years. If I start rewriting something not very small... I'll end up rewriting everything from a scratch And I have two ongoing projects I don't want to distract from.
3. The code is very dirty. And almost no comments Shame on me, I couldn't even figure out what F5 does in Fox Hunt It's 15 to 20 years past now...
