I love these reverse engineering game posts. Seems like a fun hobby.

This is such a weird coincidence! I think about those DNA sequences surprisingly often, and I'm considering building a similar UI/concept into a puzzle game I'm working on.

This got me itching to mess with old game code again, honestly. ever notice games like this kinda stick in your brain for way too long?

I love this stuff, this is what the internet was made for.

When I was a kid I beat this game 100% and got the secret ending where Jeff Goldblum tells you to stop playing video games and go outside.
