ResEdit was one of the things that got me hooked on programming because it was (1) so accessible and (2) could be used on real executables.

A few months after discovering it, I had jammed little hand drawn icons onto the menu items of damn near every application on my tiny hard drive. It was awesome.

Same here. Me and my friends would take shareware games and edit all of the text, graphic and audio resources to essentially make our own games.
