Reverse engineering of other games

Found this piece on trying to understand how MicroProse F-117A generated certain missions. So many mysteries in old games

Oh what a good game! When I was a child I "hacked" F-19 (predecessor of F-117A) using a hexaeditor (PCTOOLS) but only the roster. I just rised my military rank
It would be cool to hack the game adding maps and other planes!

Oh!  I had never seen this game before   It seems there's lots of games from the classic times I never knew. I remember I did some research on the game X-Wing and was able to find some tricks, but didn't dedicate enough time to it as to really master the format of its files.
