# Blues Brothers

This is a rewrite of the game [Blues Brothers](https://www.mobygames.com/game/blues-brothers) developed by [Titus](https://www.mobygames.com/company/titus-interactive-sa).

## Requirements

The game data files of the DOS or Amiga version are required.

```
*.BIN, *.CK1, *.CK2, *.SQL, *.SQV, *.SQZ
```

For sounds and music, the Amiga version files need to be copied.

```
SOUND, ALMOST, GUNN, EVERY, SHOT
```

The [ExoticA](https://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/The_Blues_Brothers) modules set can also be used.


## Running

By default, the executable loads the data files from the current directory.

This can be changed by using command line switch.

```
