Only knew the name Herzog Zwei never anything about it.
Apparently AirMech Arena (a game i have played and liked) is considered almost a spiritual successor to that game.

Yeah, I saw that as it happened live on Twitch. Nice to see he put out an annotated video.

I actually made it to 5 minutes before my head hit my desk and work me up. So your run a PC program to figure it all out then you do it. What am I missing that this is blowing minds?

I just saw a HuffPost news article referencing that "largest collection ever sold".
You remember the one that ended up going for several hundred thousand dollars so that guy could pay medical bills or whatever? (This one:
http://www.rfgeneration.c...13425.msg201065#msg201065
)
They mentioned it ended at over 750K$
I was rather dismayed that the misinformation is being perpetuated since AFAIK the auction never sold. Or if it did it was for MUCH much less than that.
EDIT My top bid was 98k-ish /EDIT
I believe my top bid was around
100k.
and even i was contacted to see if i was ready to pony up the cash

First, it wasn't a PC program that figured it out - someone spent a shit load of time figuring out how to manipulate memory locations in the game in order to essentially "program" something in the RAM. If you want something mindblowing on that scale, check this out - it was created using tools to simulate the input on an emulator:
Super Mario World has been an intensely raced game over the past 10 years. This is the single-most impressive thing they've found in that time. The credits skip allows them to essentially speedrun the game even quicker now, so a whole new level of competition will come out of it.

I find this more impressive (although I don't like the results):

There is no way he did this stuff by playing the game. Someone went through the code or some program did. I also get that it would be really had to do since you have to do so many things perfectly.

Oh, they definitely used an emulator and tools to see how the RAM was manipulated, and how to set it up, but I meant that they didn't use tools to automate the process - it was all done by hand.

I didnt think they automated the process. Only how it was found.

It's not really new news, and there was a big update that was all over the internet a little while ago but if you missed it or need a reminder, The Internet Archive has ~2300 DOS games that will play in your browser.
https://archive.org/detai...ftwarelibrary_msdos_games
They don't all work as you'd want them too, I couldn't play 1 Ton at all
but many of them work pretty good. Scorched Earth, you know, the mother of all games, was going great until I accidentally loaded a new page in that tab.
There are more games and programs on that site to use, that's just the link to the DOS section.

So apparently Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) Remastered happened sometime while I wasn't looking:
