Yeah, I’m new to WeMod. I go by Rhapdog. The ‘H’ is silent.
My first game mod was for a Star Trek game written for the IBM System/360. It was a text based game, because graphics didn’t exist in the mid-1970s. I modded it by re-writing the code to my liking. It wasn’t called modding back then, it was called programming.
It’s been probably 8 years or so since I’ve done any game mods, and 7 years since I quit programming by retiring from the old job. I still like to keep up with tech a bit, just don’t like to get as technical as I used to.
You might have more programming experiance than the devs, assuming that what you are telling is true, my memories are intact and my assumptions are correct.
I have not lived the 70 or 80s so da ■■■■ i know but from what i’ve read, there were trainers which were included in the games themselves or part of cracktros and the term cheating existed before that. I don’t know about modding though.
