2600 games studied at University

[Ute]

I wanted to pass on this article I read and thought others may find it interesting. It talks about computer scientists at two different universities studying Entombed and other 2600 game code.

 

I particularly liked the part that talks about the author creating the Maze Table while he was drunk.

There are two other threads on the forum about this, including replies about the maze generation algorithm.
