Oh, and Chicken Little. You aren't misremembering; it was an Arabic dub.

"./69/69063764BB783B5DC31B60C5FC01BC8D_Chicken_Little_Arabic_Dub_by_al7ob.ze....lnk", a shortcut link mentioned in "Everything.20171105.hash_index.txt". This is the only known mention of Chicken Little that I can find; my guess is that the full movie was present but removed from the CIA's release of the materials due to copyright concerns.

It's possible that I'm wrong about the Abbottabad compound ROM being a bad dump, since a quick check with Hasher-js claims that it matches the same No-Intro database as my own ROM. ("No-Intro: Genesis (v. 20210226-213851)") See alt text for full readings from Hasher-js.

A Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures ROM was found in the raid on Bin Laden's compound. It fails to reach the initial SEGA splash screen in Ares, and crashes BlastEm, but will run in older/less accurate emulators such as Gens/GS r7. Might be a bad dump, since my own No-Intro ROM exhibits no such issues.

"4CDCE441C37C2A1E1FAC2249A79280DF_PACMAN2.SMD", which was found in the CIA's release of various materials from the May 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad.

As evidenced by the filename, this is a ROM of "Pac-Man 2 The New Adventures" for the SEGA Genesis that has been hosted on the CIA's website for the past eight years. Surprisingly, it works! ...barely.

It is seen running the attract demo in Gens/GS r7 - an outdated SEGA Genesis emulator, which itself is forked from the original Gens. This particular ROM will not run on modern emulators such as Ares or BlastEm, per my own testing.

The Gens/GS r7 window is rendered on-top of a browser window displaying "Everything.20171105.hash_index.txt" which accompanies the CIA's "November 2017 Release of Abbottabad Compound Material" - the text "4CDCE441C37C2A1E1FAC2249A79280DF_PACMAN2.SMD" is highlighted.

To the right of the Gens/GS r7 window is the ROM opened in the Cygnus hex editor. There, the text "EAGNSS CT1 94AGA-A2", starting at address 00000280, is highlighted. This will be mentioned again.

For reference: https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/Everything.20171105.hash_index.txt

"Pac-Man 2 - The New Adventures (USA).md" running in Ares. This is a "No-Intro" dump, in the sense that it lines up with metadata found in No-Intro DAT files. (No-Intro is NOT a piracy group.) "No-Intro" ROMs are generally expected to be of high quality.

Next to the Ares window, is the same ROM opened in the Cygnus hex editor. Highlighted is the text "SEGA GENESIS (C)T-14 1994.AUGPAC-MAN2", starting at address 00000100.

Compared to the ROM discovered in the raid on Bin Laden's Abbottabad compound, this exact text was present there too... albeit starting at a different address (00000280) with every other character skipped over. ("EAGNSS CT1 94AGA-A2")

So, "PAC-MAN2" became "A-A2". ("*A*-*A*2")

I'm not sure what's going on here, so I am open to perspectives from those more knowledgeable on this subject.

There is evidence to suggest Pac-Man and Super Pac-Man were among the games played at Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad. "superpac" in the latter's filename suggests MAME was used to emulate; "mame32.exe" was found in the files, though the CIA ensured it could no longer launch as a program.

"94944935E0A20ED711416E6915290960_pacman.png", which was found in the CIA's release of various materials from the May 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad.

It is simply a screenshot of the original Pac-Man; whoever took the screenshot has barely started the first round, and in fact it looks like there hasn't been any player input up to this point.

(Pac-Man automatically moves to the left at the start of every round.)

For reference: https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/Everything.20171105.hash_index.txt

"01FBE15F6725B907C2792DAD6507202A_superpac.png", which was found in the CIA's release of various materials from the May 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad.

This one is a screenshot of Super Pac-Man. This bears similarities to the previous, original Pac-Man screenshot in that it appears no player input has been made on the very first round of the game. Only here, Pac-Man is mid-death after having been caught by one of the ghosts.

(Once again, Pac-Man automatically moves to the left at the start of every round.)

For reference: https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/Everything.20171105.hash_index.txt

"0D098CB7F9270ABDDF8AE2FA11BB52B9_mame32.exe" opened in Cygnus, a hex editor. Underwhelmingly but perhaps unsurprisingly, the file has effectively been redacted, as all of its data is now dedicated to storing just this message:

"The contents of this file have been removed because it either contains malware, is an operating system file, executable, corrupted, or was converted to a PDF file. Converted PDF files are listed in the Converted Documents section of the Abbottabad Compound website ( https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/ )."

After wiping a microSD card backup of my personal ROMs collection for nothing and making some extra space on my PC, I'm now in the process of extracting everything. About 23% through so far. Here's a random file - ./0E/0E3BA2719C3EB2C25A92EB0AE9420A25_istan17.JPG - to show I actually got in there.

./0E/0E3BA2719C3EB2C25A92EB0AE9420A25_istan17.JPG from the CIA's "November 2017 Release of Abbottabad Compound Material".

It's a photo of what appears to be a ceiling featuring an intricately-designed pattern, from the perspective of the photographer looking up at it. In the center of the pattern, some sort of rope is hanging from the ceiling? Sorry, I'm kind of blanking with the description.

Fictitious YouTube thumbnail depicting the Nintendo Alarmo against a white void, accompanied by the text "KILL HER". The juxtaposition of these elements is meant to make you believe that Nintendo, through the Alarmo, is pressuring you to commit homicide.

Well, I finally got hit. Like some reports I'm unsure if it's a fluke, but logging out didn't do anything so maybe it isn't. Reminder that if you don't see me on this site ever again this will be why. Currently accessing through on a You-Know-What.

Your opinion on Miis will change when you realize you can #LARP! your favorite non-Mario characters (or neglected yesn-Mario characters) being a playable. We lowkey kind of had Smash Kart for well over a decade, the only thing stopping you was how well you could utilize the limits of Mii Maker.

Imagine if they printed games on USB drives. Honestly, that's an idea I would like to see considering the "death to discs" era; USB drives can hold so much more than DVDs or Blu-Ray could, and USB tech is widespread.* Closest thing to that idea being real was... a Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter reward.
