I'll tell you how bad I was: I wrote a p-code interpreter (Wizardry was written in UCSD Pascal) so I could dissect the code and hack it. One of my great moments of triumph was isolating the copy protection code, finding the single Pascal function that called it, and changing one byte so that it always returned true. It was so beautifully elegant. I was such a geek. Good thing I'm normal now. Wizardry I was also a game that distracted me for a long time way back when I got my first Apple II.
