    I used to do this with games in various magazines back in the day. That's what got me into programming. Debugging and experimenting with things to customize the games.

    Some of the games, if they were shorter, I remember typing in multiple times, because our Commodore 64 only had a slooooow tape drive and it seemed faster than waiting for it to load.

    I doubt I'd have the patience now though.
