Hard to say. Basically every game on market these days can be modded. However some have editors while others have to be hacked. So we''ll toss out the hacked games. Now let''s narrow it down even further by asking what your favorite genre is? Then you''d prob choose your favorite game. Another question to ask is whether you are doing a full conversion mod or just a campaign or level addition.

I think Wolf3D is the first game which can be modded for

What makes you say that?

Please forgive me:-)
the easiest game to be modded for (I think) shall be 2d games with a in-game editor(i.e.Starcraft),3dgames are much harder.

The best 3D RPG to mod for is Anachronox.

Duke Nukem 3D is a fairly easy game to do mods for. Yeah I know it''s old but it''s good or where maybe.

I tried modding Deus Ex and couldn''t make heads or tail of that Unreal Editor However 2D games like StarCraft are so much easier. I''d start with a 2D game and scale up. I just started realizing how many cool SC maps are out there, from RPGs to bunker defenses to mass attacks - fun stuff

Half-life would be easiest because the modding community is rather large. There are many tutorials out there to learn from.

Same for Quake 3.

That''s a good point Darkor. The size of the mod community definetly helps out when you need teams or help.
