What sort of payoff were you expecting? I was satisfied that this guy managed to extract the binary and run it on a legacy machine. The tools worked as expected and in the end we found the artist's message.

I have incredible appreciation for folks that invest their time and effort in tech archaeology.

I had some old Dragon 32 tapes from days of old. And when the emu scene turned up, managed to record the tape onto the PC, play an unfinished game of my youth, snapshot it so I could cheat until I finally completed the damn thing. For all of like two minutes I was king.
