Bela; Have seen the graphics version of Hack, and thought would let you know
'bout it. Firstly, the reason that it's not been seen here is simple…John
Tobes has not put it into the public domain! It apparently is still in the
debugging stage, 'cause a debugger is on the Hack disk. The graphics are OK
(Not up to Epyx's or EA standards) but sufficient. The game has some oddities
in it though. An example: It presented, on one game, to a Level 1 caveman ON
LEVEL 1, a beartrap VERY strategically placed. So strategically placed, as a
matter of fact, that upon entering the room you had no choice but to get
ensnared in it! It was placed just inside the room's ONLY entrance. The
version, sad to say, is still Version 1.01 of HACK. So..that's the scoop,
Bela.
