By "hack" I meant simply taking one existing game and replacing levels and other resources (like what
Chex Quest did with
Doom). To do what you described though, those guys had to either reverse-engineer every game they wanted to take parts of code from (because the source code of no id Software or Build game was publicly available back then), or write their own engine that imitates respective games from scratch (which is probably the case).
