-
- 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.
