Could you build this?
No Re-implementing a classic game engine like Star Wars: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter requires extensive binary reverse engineering, proprietary asset decoding, and complex flight/rendering mechanics.
What it would actually take: Requires reverse engineering original 1990s x86 binaries and proprietary LucasArts file formats (models, missions, flight physics, and audio) using Ghidra or IDA. The engine would be built in modern C++ with OpenGL/Vulkan, SDL, and custom networking, demanding deep expertise in legacy binary disassembly, fixed-point math, and bespoke space sim physics engines.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a dev tools tool for Sales yet.
