Pool of Radiance was a good one for Hex hacking. You could set all of
your attributes up way high and set off some incredibly powerful attacks
in the game. I would have 1st level wizards marching around with 25's
for everything and blowing away large monsters with a quarterstaff.
The other thing about it is you could hire henchmen at the training hall
within the game, let them die, then raise them as undead characters.
Afterwards, you could hex hack them up to ridiciulous levels and
decimate the opposition.
I think that was the first game I just blew away through hacks. I really
miss the simplicity of PC Tools and think it's a shame games are so much
more complex these days.

nah, man, wasteland was the one to try and hack. See, i played it
several times over and over based simply on the fact that I could not
figure out how to hack the stats. The games that the hex storage for xp
and money or whatever was easy to change, I got bored with them a week
later.
What I liked was that you could keep the characters you picked up on the
way through, so after a while i just had all VAX's running qround the
desert. It's funny, when i saw the first of the new starwars run, I
kept thinking of ALL the droid dudes as VAX's. :P
For Bard's tale, you wanted to go to the castle or deungeon or whatever
on the notrh west of town, tp in to the floor with the huge room, the
great hall or something. The one where you opened the door and there
were 4 groups of 99(the games max) of sorcerers. Hit the spells that
attack all and BOOM huge xp for all. tp out and leave so it resets the
spot and gives you chance to heal. Wash, rinse, repeat. It was the
neverending xp honeypot for the game.
werd. :P
