I was a Sinclair Spectrum guy. I'm not sure if you could have hacked those cassettes.

I was never a Spectrum owner,
but I know that some BBC Micro/Acorn Electron game tapes had custom loaders which I managed to copy to disk by taking a memory dump once they'd loaded...I also remember a couple of games that had a basic form of code encryption that I managed to defeat so I could hack it for infinite lives, put greets to my school friends in the high score table, etc.

enjoyed that
I was a sinclair/ C64/ amiga person,
Although I did have the opportunity to join a group through a friend I knew. I thought at the time - sod that, since I'd discovered beer and girls

Similar here
ZX81, vic20, Spectrum48k, BBC B, Amiga, then a string of PCs.
With beer and girls, of course.
