I had a really, really odd experience when I was very young -- probably no older than 6 or so. I was on a 386 running MS DOS 5 and at the time, I was hooked on a game called "Pilgrim's Quest". I was also in the habit of breaking edit.com out on everything I could get my fingers on, and binaries were no exception. I had no idea what I was doing (otherwise I would've been using debug.com), but I would delete things, type random characters, etc. One day, I took edit.com to the binary for Pilgrim's Quest, and proceeded to mess with it, rendering it useless. Except, it wasn't useless. When I ran it, the display was messed up, but pressing keys caused notes to play. To this day, I can't figure out why this would've happened -- I know of no functionality in the game that played single notes (although, to be fair, I don't remember if it played a note and then stopped or continued playing it indefinitely -- this was a long time ago), and I can't see how one could stumble upon that. I really wish I knew what the hell I did, as that was the first time I ever made the computer do something it wasn't intended to do, even if it was not my intention.
