From the video description:
Ever hear that the neutral zone in Yars’ Revenge uses the game’s code for its graphics? How does it work, and is it possible to reverse engineer that code just from playing the game? It’s all explained right here.

is it possible to reverse engineer that code just from playing the game?
Spoiler: no
I don’t even see why this was a question, or why Atari cared even if you could. You know where you can get the code for the game? In the cartridge! If you have the game, you can just dump the code from the cartridge. The cartridge is just a ROM whose sole purpose is to give you the code when asked, byte by byte!
I enjoyed watching this guy go full-nerd on this, but the premise is just silly.
