DO NOT BUY THIS GAME THE DEVS HAVE NOT FIXED A LAG ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN HERE SINCE 2015 AT THE BARE MINIMUM, THEY SAID THEY WOULD PATCH IT BUT HAVE FAILED TO DELIVER IN THE WEEK TIME FRAME THEY ISSUED ALMOST 10 YEARS AGO . AT THIS POINT I DONT SEE HOW THEY CAN JUSTIFY SELLING IT AT ALL CONSIDERING RUNNING IT ON WINDOWS XP WOULD LIKELY BE THE ONLY WAY TO RUN IT WITH OUT ALOT OF PAIN TO GET IT RUNNING . SHAME I LOVED THESE GAMES WHEN I WAS A TEEN AND IT GOT ME TO BUY ALL OF THEYRE GAMES I JUST WISH THEY HAD STOOD BY THEYRE COMMUNITY.

I've managed to resolve the lag and other visual issues people had playing on a windows 10 PC, using dgVoodoo. I've written guide on how to do it, which is still in the approval process, however, there are plenty of general video guides online that should give you the gist of how to do it.

Hacker Series is a craptastic "hacker sim" that doesn't run properly and crashes when you run it. It's pure garbage and nobody should buy this. I'll take some time out for a community service announcement, though. If you want to pretend to be a hacker, don't. You're better than that. Learn real programming and become a creator. You'll feel like a great person and you deserve it.

Hacker Series, developed and published by exosyphen studios, is a retro compilation that gathers together four of the studio’s earliest hacking simulation titles, originally released in the early to mid-2000s. Rather than being a modern, cinematic interpretation of hacking culture, this collection serves as a time capsule of a formative era in indie PC development. It includes Blue Sky::Acceptable Casualties, Digital Hazard, BS Hacker, and BS Hacker Unlimited, each representing incremental steps in the studio’s exploration of command-line driven cyber-themed gameplay. Viewed collectively, the package functions less as a contemporary release and more as an archival look at the conceptual origins of exosyphen’s later, more polished hacking games. At its core, Hacker Series revolves around text-based interaction within simulated computer systems. Players operate through a minimalist console interface, typing commands to navigate networks, probe servers, bypass security, and complete objectives. There are no cinematic cutscenes, elaborate animations, or flashy graphical effects. The experience is intentionally stripped down, placing emphasis on logic, experimentation, and methodical t…

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
