They disassembled the DOS executable for Syndicate Wars and replaced all the DOS-y bits with SDL. Crafty, crazy, or maybe health dose of both?

Devs hiring the eON jobbers are doing a cheap cash grab instead of paying a real outfit to do their ports. This instead fall under the “Are you fucking insane?” fan project category. Stuff like OpenMW, Angband, the HD texture modders for GTA4, the guy who fixed the Dark Souls PC port on day one just for shit and giggle…
