Door games are, in a way, what got me interested in reverse engineering. Being a teenager running a BBS for some friends in school, I didn't have any money to "register" the games (and was lucky that my parents ponied up the money for the extra phone line). I had some experience w/ 6502 assembly and Pascal (all self-learned), got a copy of a debugger (Soft-Ice?) and set to work figuring out how to "crack" the registration systems.
Eventually, my BBS got shut down because I was dialing into other BBS's all over the country to spread my "patches" (and racking up outrageous phone bills). :(
- pjbrunet 11y agoTwo distinct worlds. PD and NPD. I was on the PD side but a couple of my classmates were NPD and there was some crossover. Seemed the NPD side was more serious about artwork and that got to be competitive, as far as login graphics, menus, logoff graphics. As an aspiring artist, I was impressed by the NPD ascii art and loaders.
