savegame hack/editor: Allows you to alter your save games and give yourself more money/life/what have you.

Hex editor (though that might be the real name of the app).: for finding and altering raw numbers in the game code.

Trainer: Allows you to tweak numbers on the fly while the program is running and ‘train’ your character.
