What I really love about these is the steganographic element. Cartridges are PNGs with the game data embedded.
I wanted practical applications of this a decade or more ago, and here we are.
"This image (when uploaded to tokenizer) will be processed (tokenized).
It will have been evaluated for filetype (JPG)
It will have the first 256 bytes snarfed
It will have the following data catalogged; submitter, date, ID, filetype, snarfed 256 bytes, relation (referring/host site, pointer, etc)
The data above will be formatted into a sort of barcode. The barcode for a JPG will be different than that of a GIF, a text file, an MP3, etc.
The barcode will carry (steganographically) those snarfed 256 bytes, plus a track back to flotsm.com."
