The BSD Games collection has an ATC Simulator as well from around 1985: https://github.com/vattam/BSDGames/tree/master/atc

Kennedy Approach was published around the same time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kennedy_Approach

Ask a coding agent to decode the assets. Works pretty often for such old games.

What I find fascinating is the fact that you can implement those few lines in an esoteric language such as FRACTRAN or Game of Life and even boot Linux on them. Seems doable now. I…

Yes, I’ve tried it. For example, this was my winning entry from a year ago [0]. The LLM only performs trivial obfuscation, not advanced transformations. For example: if (x == 1 || …

Yes, you haven’t tried it. LLMs are actually awesome at deobfuscation, but terrible at obfuscation. They just can’t do it yet. They also lack the creativity needed for those entrie…

My favorite is the 366-byte C program emulator that can run Linux and Doom [0]. The VM implements an OISC - a One Instruction Set Computer [1]. [0] https://github.com/ioccc-src/win…

This VM implements an OISC - a One Instruction Set Computer. More information: https://github.com/ioccc-src/winner/blob/master/2025/cable/R...

Because I haven't found the special case in the disassembly for these "flying" objects. Probably I misinterpret the object coordinate somehow.

Sorry, the maps are rendered in 3D so that you can fly around. I can of course make top-down screenshots of the maps. Thanks for your feedback.

Author here. The Ross’s Game Dungeon video was, to some degree, a motivation for me to start the reverse-engineering process, just for fun. The analysis took place over many years,…

I wish I had known this two years ago. I ended up writing my own embedded connection struct to trace these things [0]. type Connection struct { net.Conn OnEventCallback func(client…

On weekends, yes. During the week, that’s also true if they arrive within a short time frame, e.g., three minutes. Almost no one looks at “New”. That is the real issue.

Author here. Yes, it is integral. I chose this approach to first show how to draw it from back to front, because the code is easier to understand this way.

Nice to see an MCP integration here as well. In my experience, coding agents are great at analyzing MOS6502 code. Because the code is limited to only 64 kB, it does not overwhelm t…

Exactly. And JSLinux is using one.

Most such emulators have Internet access on the IP level. Therefore, this is a very cheap way to test anything on the Internet. apk add nmap nmap your.domain.com However, the speed…

To reverse engineer old C64 games using Coding Agents, I built a CLI and MCP flow disassembly tool. The agent can search the disassembly, provide annotations, manage symbols, and r…
