The secret is that they actually never have rewritten it. Dig into the code and every single version, even the iOS/Android port, is just the 1998 PC version with hacks on top. The 1998 Windows EXE is even included in the iOS version.

Fingers crossed that this is a real rewrite to allow a modern mobile port.
