Generic SaveGame Editor is a program specifically designed to edit "SAVED
GAME" files. This allows the game player to change many aspects of the
game, so that playing becomes easier or offers new possibilities.
You always should be able to change something you does not like in games.
Users have the right to edit games because they paid money for them: the
game designers create the game, the users buy it. Editing isn't cheating,
it is getting all your money's worth.
When you save a game that you are playing, the computer will store all of
the information about that game to a "SAVEGAME" file. That file will
contain all of the information on your progress in the game so that when
you restart the game you will begin right where you had stopped. The GSE
allows the game player easy to access the SAVEGAME file and you will be
able to change the information.
