Endless Sky: an open source space trading and combat game

Fun fact: For Mac OS systems, Escape Velocity's entire mod and game data system was based on HFS Resource Forks. To mod the game, you'd create massive resource forks with ResEdit and other specialized editors, placing ship graphics in resources named to avoid collisions like shŠn and d‘sc. Such a unique and absurd system. http://escape-velocity.games/docs

That was my very first encounter with anything hacking-related. Such a thrill. Before that the computer was a black box full of black boxes.

Me too! I cut my teeth on ResEdit and discovered weapons I never saw in the game. Total thrill!

Dude. Me too. One of my first, anyways. Hard to remember if it came before or after my forays into FutureBasic.
