|
|
As you begin, you will find yourself at an MS-DOS style DOS prompt. The object
|
||
|
|
of the game is to make yourself as big a nuisance to as many people as you can
|
||
|
|
in as short a time possible. You will infiltrate telecommunications services,
|
||
|
|
hack the accounts of other callers on this BBS, and contact Hackers Anonymous
|
||
|
|
to get help increasing your skills.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Functions Available in this Game:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DIR, ?, CATALOG - These three commands display the menu of options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
UE - While you are busy trying to trash the many online
|
||
|
|
services you will find here, they will be trying to
|
||
|
|
protect themselves by purging off as much of your
|
||
|
|
system as possible. You can use this UnErase command
|
||
|
|
to restore your hard drive to its original state. As
|
||
|
|
word begins to spread about your prowess, the cost
|
||
|
|
of this service will start to rise.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
STATUS - Displays a list of your personal statistics. Tells
|
||
|
|
how many megabytes you have, how much money on hand
|
||
|
|
and in the bank. It will also keep a record of how
|
||
|
|
many turns of each type you have left.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
CALL - This is used to call up commercial telecommunication
|
||
|
|
services and try to crash them. If successful, you
|
||
|
|
will be rewarded with money from hidden accounts as
|
||
|
|
you slowly advance in level.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HACK - Make a pest of yourself by attacking the accounts of
|
||
|
|
other callers on this BBS. Increase your level, take
|
||
|
|
cash from their credit accounts and steal both their
|
||
|
|
software and hardware. You will even switch places
|
||
|
|
with higher level systems if you defeat them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HA - The infamous Hackers Anonymous. Call them to garner
|
||
|
|
information about the other caller accounts. They
|
||
|
|
can also provide you with powerful software cracking
|
||
|
|
programs and hardware backups... For a price!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
HIGH - Displays the top 10 score bulletin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
QUIT - Use this if you want to... quit the game.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
+ - Put all of your cash on-hand into the bank.
|
||
|
|
- - Take all of your cash from the bank.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
FORMAT - Delete your current character and start a new one.
|
||
|
|
Do it when you are out of alternatives.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The name of the game is disk space. The more megabytes you have, the harder
|
||
|
|
it is for somebody to crash you and the easier it is to waste other boards.
|
||
|
|
New players should start with BBS #1 and advance from there.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While using CALL or HACK, you will be able to do the following.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[T]rash Files - This purges areas of the enemy hard drive and will
|
||
|
|
eventually crash their system completely. Note that
|
||
|
|
some people will hit back rather nastily if they
|
||
|
|
detect your tampering. Periodic hardware failure can
|
||
|
|
interfere with hacking operations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[D]rop Carrier - Drop the carrier immediately in an emergency.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[U]pload Trojan - These nasty little suckers can sometimes do quite a
|
||
|
|
lot of damage to the host system. The advantage in
|
||
|
|
using them is that they don't leave any traces for
|
||
|
|
host to detect. Trojan Horse programs are rare, so
|
||
|
|
use them with discretion.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[B]ackup - When you take on a heavy hitter who is just about to
|
||
|
|
wipe you out, this emergency backup can really save
|
||
|
|
your bacon. It will recover some of the missing megs
|
||
|
|
before you're completely toasted.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Buying high powered terminal software and a hardware backup will help you to
|
||
|
|
prevail over powerful enemies. You can buy these from the Hackers Anonymous
|
||
|
|
BBS by using "HA" from the DOS Prompt.
