I wonder who takes interest in reverse-engineering these old games.
As a professional programmer, there's so much to learn nowadays that I wonder how they find the time to invest in time-consuming niche projects which don't lead to directly transferable experience. I also assume that the people (like me) who did play these games are older and busy with other things in life?
Anyway, I think this is awesome that people do that, and it's the spirit of HN. I just wish I had the time...

- lwouis 5y agoI think a lot is transferable. It depends on what your daily job is. Retro-gaming and emulation is low-level. So if your job is low-level like systems, OS, embedded, etc, then it's transferable experience/knowledge.
