Hey, you and me both, brother! Some of the most fun I've had programming was writing an assembly TSR that would scrape the screen buffer of the PAL BBS game Flash Attack (I think that was name of it, anyway) to calculate the firing angles for me.

I also tied into the keyboard hooks so that I could build an entire decoy base with a single key press (just some simple buffer stuffing) along with a cool little "death blossom" attack.

Ahhh, those were the days ;)
