This is the start screen to the NES game, Super Mario Bros. Using a text editor, some of the text has been changed (unless you remember playing as Gonzo or Duke).
And this is the Game Over screen with modifications from the same text editor.
Making modifications with a text editor is as simple as knowing how to spell. You simply substitute "Game Over" with "UPS Wins" and you've modified your game. There are a lot of rom hacks out there. A rom hack is a video game that has been modified. This can be anything from a lightly modified game (Mario without a mustache for example) all the way to a heavily modified game (basically a brand new game). Serious modifications usually involve a lot of programming knowledge, something that I don't have.
But I want to make a rom called UPSLand. I want to change the Mario and Luigi sprites (game character graphics), the enemy sprites, some of the background, and maybe the music. Of course, I'll be happy with the first 2 out of four. But that's my new project. Learn some programming. Make a game.
