Could you build this?

No A verified decompilation of a 2000-era closed-source game requires binary reverse engineering, matching compiler output byte-for-byte, and deep knowledge of x86 and the original toolchain. Vibe coding cannot substitute for that expertise.

What it would actually take: The work starts with disassembling the original executable and mapping functions against debug-like symbols or heuristics, then iteratively writing C that compiles to identical bytes, verified by a diff-based harness. It requires experts in reverse engineering, the target CPU and compiler, and years of patient matching work.
