Hacker Evolution is a unique twist on the puzzle genre, as the puzzle this time around is figuring out the correct way to hack into a series of computers and servers to complete each mission. The story goes that by 2010, a new way to send information has been discovered that moves at the speed of light. Unfortunately, it starts to become sentient, and instead of destroying humanity as such a program might in science-fiction movies, it begins to cause chaos in an attempt to evolve and survive. Playing as a hacker, it’s up to you to help set things right and restore order to the world’s information superhighways.
For those who haven’t played around in DOS before, there’s a tutorial to help you get started in the game, but even with that tutorial, it’s not an easy time. I did get stuck on one occasion and had to start over. The game looks good, though there isn’t a whole lot to look at, and the controls are mostly keyboard-based, but if you get lost, they’re just a help command away. All in all, Hacker Evolution is frustrating at first, but in the end, turns out to be a pretty decent game.
