Nice! Interesting how similar games seem to do this, checksumming to fixed integers. Pitfall: The Lost Expedition did something very similar by converting button presses into ASCII-represented strings of the input buttons that were then CRC-ed. The approach was similar to just brute-force in Python and compare to the extracted cheat hashes.

I even spy your CRC32 table hidden in the `decrypted_ints` . The pre-generated tables are so easily searchable. It leaves me curious why they are so often found obfuscated in attempt to make it more difficult compared to generating a new one with your own polynomial.
