By request, I have created UnTGZ, a tool that will convert Zork Nemesis‘ *.TGA art files to *.BMP. Basically, it was a matter of reverse engineering the executable to see that Apple’s LZSS code was used to compress and decompress these *.TGA files. Zork’s TGA files are basically 16-bit bitmaps (LZSS compressed) with RGB codes in the bitmap data. Download UnTGZ to convert *.TGA files to windows bitmap.
The tool: UnTGZ 0.02
