CryptoPunks are a special case NFT, since they were created before "NFT" was even a used term. The Ethereum blockchain stores owns each Cryptopunk. However, the images are not stored there, neither is a pointer or link to the images. They live at this link in one giant file, also shown below. Stored on the blockchain is a hash of this image. That means if LarvaLabs, the owner of that link, changes the image, everyone will know that it changed! But a hash isn't enough information to know what the image looks like, so from looking at the CryptoPunks smart contract alone, you can't know what the images are.

I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort.
