I have just noticed an interesting thread on Exult board:
http://exult.sourceforge.net/forum/read.php?f … i=29856&t=29856

It is about reverse engeneering old games:
http://rewiki.regengedanken.de/wiki/Main_Page

Quite interesting is for example a page about engines reimplementations for various old games:
http://rewiki.regengedanken.de/wiki/Links_to_ … implementations
I knew some of them, but there are quite a few I did not know about (e.g. Lord of the Rings, Eye of Beholder II etc.).

Of course - many of these projects will not ever be finished, but even so it is very interesting.
I remember myself that some years ago I started to work on map editor for Eye of Beholder I (in Java), but I abandonded it shortly after figuring out map format and the way items were stored. I was just too lazy... Maybe I will contribute to the wiki if I am able to find my notes anywhere...

Edit: Oh well, formats of EOB files are already documented... I do not need to look for anything. 😀
