About SMK
RAD Game Tools made Smacker in 1994, and hundreds of DOS and Windows games of the 1990s played their intros, cutscenes and animated menus from .smk files.
An SMK holds frames of up to 256 colors from a palette that can change every frame, packed with Huffman codes, with plain or compressed sound in up to seven tracks.
Filepeek decodes it with FFmpeg inside your browser, picture and sound, and Export saves an MP4 that plays on anything.

Questions
Can I watch an old game's cutscenes?
Yes. Copy the .smk files from the game's folder or CD and drop them here.
Why won't Windows Media Player play it?
It never read Smacker. RAD Video Tools, VLC and Filepeek do.
Can I convert it to MP4?
Yes. Choose Export, then Save as MP4.
