I didn't like Hacker, not in the slightest. The first screen was interesting: try to break into an unknown system. It deteriorated immediately. First, it didn't let me really break in, instead it "let" me in with lots of fanfare. Then the whole game ended! Left me doing "stupid work" pointing to the parts of some dumb machine, then zooping around tunnels under the world. I thought I was buying a game that would consist of breaking into an unknown computer system and exploring it, trying to find security weaknesses. Instead it was like that for about 10 seconds and then became a really stupid "spy vs. spy" game. I wasn't amused. >Bela<
