Joe Carson and Louis Zezeran explore why the ethos that drives gamers is so relevant for hackers. As they note, the culture and ideas attackers are using today often stem from the environment of retro gaming. Both groups use techniques such as reverse engineering, modifying signals, upscaling, and software emulation. Though most retro gamers simply want to improve their own experiences and keep playing the games they love, malicious hackers and criminal gangs are skirting restrictions and copyrights to stop sales. Joe and Louis share ideas on how gaming and hacking communities can learn from each other. Plus, their recollections of classic games will make you nostalgic for the early days of gaming and their recommendations for new games will get you reaching for the console.
