Years ago, back in the days of my 1997 Thinkpad 365XD and the old newsgroup, I remember playing the Gametek version of Super Password. Not sure how I backed into the game files, but I do recall finding something that had the passwords & puzzles used in the software.
I've been playing Password Plus at game nights for ages but would love to revamp the software I've written into Super Password with the Cashword game.
Does anyone have this old software and the data used for game files within the game? Specifically, I'm looking for a lengthy list of Cashwords I can use in the software I've already coded. If not, I'd be happy if someone had a couple dozen Cashwords used on the program to incorporate into my software.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated as always.
Thanks.

If you do some looking around, you can find a Commodore 64 emulator and a bunch of Gametek games. I have Super Password, among others (Wheel, Feud, Card Sharks, Classic Concentration, etc.). I don't know how you would get into the data files but I'm sure there's a way.

Here's a link to download the software, which I presume has all the game files out in the open as it was originally:

The PC one does, the C64 one appears to be disk images. I would bet the data files of the PC one could be cracked open with a decent hex editor; I can't see them bothering with encryption of any sort.
