<p>Does anyone else remember playing <a title="Link -- Wikipedia Article: Reunion" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reunion_(video_game)" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FReunion_%28video_game%29','Link+--+Wikipedia+Article%3A+Reunion')" target="_blank">Reunion</a> back on their 386&#8242;s with a staggering 2MB of RAM? Lord knows I remember!</p>
<p>Reunion came out over fifteen years ago and I still feel the urge to play it now and then even today. It&#8217;s a great game and can be downloaded from many <a title="Abandonia -- Reunion (1994)" href="http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/150/Reunion.html" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.abandonia.com%2Fen%2Fgames%2F150%2FReunion.html','Abandonia+--+Reunion+%281994%29')" target="_blank">abandonawre</a> sites across the internet.</p>
<p>I started playing again recently using <a title="Link -- DOSBox Homepage" href="http://www.dosbox.com/" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dosbox.com%2F','Link+--+DOSBox+Homepage')" target="_blank">DOSBox</a> and I was amazed, because I didn&#8217;t even know the game had sound! <img src='http://www.enusbaum.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  When I played &#8220;back in the day&#8221;, my system didn&#8217;t have a Sound Card (because I couldn&#8217;t afford a <a title="Link -- Wikipedia Article: AWE32" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_Blaster_AWE32" onclick="return TrackClick('http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSound_Blaster_AWE32','Link+--+Wikipedia+Article%3A+AWE32')" target="_blank">Creative AWE32</a>), so needless to say it was a whole different experience. The game has a fantastic production value and even when modern development languages, I&#8217;m not sure that even I&#8217;d be able to create a game of such depth a complexity!</p>
<p>Anywho, I began to get frustrated because I knew there were parts of the game I was missing because I couldn&#8217;t meet certain goals or didn&#8217;t have enough resources. Granted, I should have spent the time perfecting the game and working towards those achievements&#8230;.. but it&#8217;s an old game and I don&#8217;t have as much free time as I did when I was thirteen years old <img src='http://www.enusbaum.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>To that end, I sat down and studied the Save Game format for a while and also the (paltry) Save Editor that was included in the Abandonware version. I knew I could come up with something better that gives me even more options in the game. It took me a couple hours but I was able to come up with a pretty functional Saved Game Editor for Reunion that works around a couple glitches the previous version had.</p>
<p>I know, I&#8217;m a total cheater but it was a fun little project and I figure perhaps ONE person on the entirety of the Internet must need something like this as well, so I figure I&#8217;d throw it out there for anyone who needs it <img src='http://www.enusbaum.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
