When your Mac dials into the private network of a company plotting
world domination, you race to assemble proof of their scheme and
deliver it to authorities.

Most of this game has nothing to do with hacking per se; it's a puzzle
that involves driving a remote-control robot around the globe trading
valuables between spies. (The title was picked to cash in on
sensational news stories and movies like WarGames.) What was like
hacking was piecing the copy I was given into working order. It turns
out that the game keeps its graphics in the Scrapbook file (!), and it
can't find that if the disk is named anything other than "Hack"! (I
don't have an original copy of the game to compare it to, so this
might well have been some sort of de-protection kludge rather than the
original design.)

The opening Activision logo only displays properly on a 128K/512K Mac
(real or emulated), but the rest of the game seems okay in standard
Mini vMac.

Note: There's no missing manual; the game shipped without one to
heighten verisimilitude.

This game was also a popular title on the Apple ][ , Atari 8-bit,
Atari ST, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, and other platforms in its
day.
