I think they are using a similar algorithm. But I prefer this because is simpler and it's mine. It only uses 512bytes of RAM and can uncompress directly to the VRAM.

I see! The Pletter decompression routine cannot decompress directly to VRAM out of the box, that's true. I bet it would not be hard to add though (and the routine is less than 200 bytes, and uses 0 additional RAM), so it'd be cool to compare them anyway

Huh? I thought that the Trilobyte was developing the replayer themselves...

sorry, I meant that I am porting it to C, to include it in the rlengine. samsaga2 is ahead of me with his own engine, feature wise.
