Reminds me of three projects of mine:

1. I reverse engineered the graphics format for the game Sopwith 2 so that I could change the sprites. I wanted to change the airplane into a flying ox: the ox was an obstacle in the game that you could crash into.

2. I reverse engineered the pattern format for the Dreamcast game "Samba de Amigo" so that I could add new songs.

3. I wrote a NES ROM editor with support to change sprites, text, and palettes. I was a junior in high school at that time. The code was a mess.
