Super-Hacker Builds Atari 2600 Emulator… In Minecraft?!

SethBling, a YouTuber known for pulling off crazy hacks of popular games, might have outdone himself yet again with this one: He’s gotten an Atari 2600 emulator running in Minecraft.

Let’s say that you’re a normal person and so you have no idea what this means. An emulator is a software program that lets one computer act like another computer. That’s how we can play Super Mario Bros. on an NES Classic; the hardware is pretending to be an NES. Minecraft, the block-building creativity game, has an item called a Command Block, which allows players to enter and execute rudimentary code instructions. SethBling strung enough of these together to create a program that acts like the 1977 Atari 2600 game machine, which is a rather simple computer.
