Like others in here, my first "hacking" was manipulating the included programs bundled with qbasic. One time I thought I'd be clever and make Nibbles add one life instead of subtract one when a collision was detected.
I quickly realized my mistake when a higher level became impossible and there was no way to quit (I don't recall if ctrl-c worked for those programs).
