An Atari 2600 game uses its own game code as graphics to display on screen. Can it be used to recover the source code? I try my best in this video!

if i recall correctly, Metroid Prime does the same thing to render video static when there's visor interference. It grabs a 128x128 chunk of game code with a randomized offset each frame, and treats it as grayscale image data. Exactly 40 years apart, and programmers are still up to the same tricks! 😄
