Hacker is an adventure/trading game based on what was then a unique idea. You're starting into the adventure as a real hacker would do, lacking information of what is to come, only driven by your ambition. Consequently, the game opens with a plain text screen, prompting you for the login password. To break into the system is the first puzzle you've got to solve.

Once in, you'll soon find out that you've accidentally stumbled upon a conspiracy of global impact. From then on, you'll maneuver a robotic drone around the globe through a tunnel system deep in the earth. In major cities, you may surface and talk to contact persons, who'll trade items for cash. When delivered to the correct city, you can exchange these items for a piece of evidence. If all evidence is collected, you're to inform the FBI. As if figuring out the correct routes and trades wasn't hard enough, frequent system malfunctions and security checks test your skill as well...

Description from the packaging:

To stumble into somebody else's computer system. To be someplace you're not supposed to be. And to get the strange feeling that it really does matter. "Logon Please:" is all you get to start with. That's it. From there, it's up to you. If you're clever enough and smart enough, you could discover a world you've never before experienced. Very tempting.

Logon Please:

What's going on here? Who are these guys? What are they doing? What am I doing?
In Hacker, it's up to you to figure it out. We can't tell you. We won't tell you. As every hacker knows, there just aren't any instructions for this kind of thing.
