Activision Hacker
It’s been a crazy week, so I just have a short post for you today.
As I mentioned previously, I didn’t consider myself a big gamer, but I often enjoyed games on my Atari 800XL. One game I especially liked was Hacker by Activision.
With Hacker you started off with a blank screen and had to figure out how to hack into Magma, Ltd systems to save the world.
It’s one of the few games of this type that I actually finished! Here is the completion certificate that I printed after I successfully helped the “FBI save world”:
I’ll be honest, I don’t really remember much about the game. I did, however, save my info sheet that I used to track everything in order to figure out how to solve it:
You can download the game from AtariMania to play in an emulator or on a real Atari. Maybe you can use my info sheet to help you solve it!
Did any of you out there in retro-land also finish Hacker back in the day?
I remember Hacker (maybe from Antic or something) but never played it. Your notes are great, thanks for sharing! I really wish my game notes were still around, would be fun to dig through.
