Ultima 3 was the ultimate hacker's game. You could crack it open with a Hex Editor and mess with anything you wanted. Your characters were all stored in one place, with every attribute easy to find (and change to FF). Towns and the world map were all sitting there in memory waiting for you to change whatever you want. I made my own town at one point. Better still, you'd inevitably screw something up and suddenly find yourself being chased across the map by a giant letter M, which you couldn't defeat because your armed weapon was "Paladin". Too much fun.
