I always scan through old eproms/eeproms I pick up off ebay out of curiosity.

Seems like 80% are old 2000's VCD players. I found one that's interesting, whatever it belonged to had a menu item for Tetris and Pac Man.

Have you ever found anything interesting? Am I the only one who does this?

Yes, I do that, too. Always make backups, also. Well, almost.

Same goes for EPROMs of devices that I already owned before.
