I recently decompiled Oregon Trail II, it's a pretty interesting experience, you get to learn a tonne about the game you used to play, and how it works under the hood. Came across a few bugs and unused assets too, which was cool to see.

I ended up coding coding up a fully interactive version stream on twitch. Unfortunately the Twitch extension I made to make it interactive is still pending review by Twitch, but I can manually add anything keen enough to the allow list. https://www.twitch.tv/medic_911/ (edit, I've switched the stream to use the existing twitch interactive ext, GreenHeat, so you can play the game now, it's just not optimised for this game like my ext is)

I also converted one of the existing decodes of Simtower out there into a native macOS app, which is pretty cool.

I find it (AI) really exciting, but also scary how this will shape the future. People still need to make money somehow to be able to spend it.
