Conan on the Apple 2. I was twelve at the time. When I couldn't pass a level, I:
* Learned 6502 assembly
* Disassembled the binary
* Found the DEC instruction that subtracted one life
* Changed it to a NOOP
* Beat the level.
Q.E.D.
Can't win the game today, but I still program computers.
* Learned 6502 assembly
* Disassembled the binary
