Old hacking games....

[Mytix]

This thread may have appeared elsewhere but I just remembering the 'ye old days' of hacking games on the speccy. I do remember there was 'Hacker' which is a 1985 game. But I remember playing a game that gave you the phone number and the rest was up to you.

What was that game?? I remember completing it yonks ago!

5 years ago my sister gave me a present for christmas. It was a CD filled with text-based games, I don't remember what it was called but it had Collosal Cave, Zork 1-3, Wishbringer, Hacker as well as 20 other games.

I know the one you're talking about... I don't remember it's name though.

I'm trying to find the name of a BBS Door that I played a lot few (well, many ) years ago.

It was in ANSI and you navigated in a grid (Matrix) with the arrow keys. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and remember the name??

I think I know the game you're referring to (in reply to Jerome, sorry to the original poster =( ). Is it called NetRunner? I don't have a binary nor do I know where to get one but you can telnet to chungkuo.org to play it. Hope that helps.

I remember one that I played a few years back was called Nethack.......I think.

what about Shadowrun for the Sega Genny and SNES (hated the snes version)...but the sega genny rocked....wish they would do something like that for PC only expand the map to the entire US......

Yes, and believe it or not, nethack is still enjoyed by thousands today.

I was hoping someone would point out that net hack had nothing to do with hacking There are a variety of 'hack' games which are all dungeon crawlers. Netrunner was the door game in question

Heh, this thread reminded me of how much I loved Neuromancer...and the fact that I never beat it...grr. Found a freeware copy online though, www.theunderdogs.org and search for Neuromancer.
