Game real-time modification utility?

Question

Well, I don't know how native English call it, in China, we call it "游戏克星". Something like Game buster, Game master, FPE (Fix People Expert), etc. But they only run in Win32.

It should be capable of:

• Analyze memory to find out which bytes are used by life-point, energy-point, etc., and change them (when the game is running).
• Save/Restore memory snapshot, so I can resume the game at any time. (Most games only allow you to save at specific save point)
