Sounds like an interesting offer. We'll see if you get any hits. I doubt you'd get too many though, due to the fact that the abandonware population is relatively small, and most of those are interested in completing the game on their own terms.
Comments:
* Many savegames are binary, not in plain text that is easily readable. So, just saying PUT #1,12345,"10000" won't be sufficient.
* The location of specific data in a savefile can, depending on the game, be different on a save-by-save basis. You'd likely need to search the file dynamically to identify the proper location of the data to be changed. That source would also need to be provided to the user who requests it.
* To anyone who wants to try this: Make sure you make a backup of your savegames before modifying them, otherwise you might lose your hard worked game progress.
On a side note: I believe QB45 is still licensed by MS, and is not legally free to download.
