Better than TIS-100 in my opinion, so realistic for modern reverse engineers who work with unknown appliances, circuit boards daily, trying to poke at them and find out what they do.

You're given a PDF that looks very similar to a real spec sheet for an FPGA or embedded device, you gleam details from it, learn how it works, and develop software to use it.

Was expecting it to be a breeze due to my TIS-100 experience and real world job, there were some INCREDIBLY difficult challenges, I got the world record on one level at one point only to be trumped a few days later, the competition is crazy and the optimisations people are doing to lower the cycle count is truly incredible.

If you're good at this game look for a job in reverse engineering or vulnerability research.
