Subject says it all. This repo has a little experiment I did a couple of years ago.

Writing a 64-bit port of storm is clearly not a trivial task, but it would be a worthwhile goal to pursue this in the long run. x86 is legacy, and sooner or later newly produced hardware will not even be able to run x86-based applications. (Hmm, I wonder if this is really the case since UEFI BIOS:es still boot up the bootloader in real mode... right?)
