The system you’re hacking comes up as a 2D grid with spawn points depending on how many programs you’re allowed to use to solve that problem. In your journey through the game, though, you’ll begin to learn that the black-hats are up to something nefarious and you’ll need to stop them. For those of you that don’t know the term, white-hats are the guys and girls that protect computer systems from being broken into, they’re essentially the good guys. In Nightfall Hacker you take the role of a white-hat hacker and have to complete jobs to earn money.
Fast as hell but really squishy if caught. So, although we’re twenty-odd years on, this new, updated game is still very in keeping with that time. Nightfall Hacker takes that earlier title as a blueprint and builds on it. This game was on LEGO’s website and garnered somewhat of a cult following. Nightfall Hacker is a love letter to a browser game that some of you might remember from back then called The Nightfall Incident. In fact, this title would be very at home on a PC of the late 90s to early 2000s, and this is also part of the point. Now, I’m not saying this to discredit Teradile, the clever gentleman behind the game in any way, just to build some perspective. The game is Nightfall Hacker and you’ll hopefully see where I’m coming from as we go.Īt first glance, Nightfall Hacker is about as simple as you can get. So spend a little time with me while we go back to basics. Instead of taking a title for what it is, there is always a danger that we’ll fall into the trap of thinking, “this is a bit like, (insert other game here,) I know what to expect.” Constantly making comparisons isn’t good because we’re overly critical before even giving the game a chance. The same goes for the content of the games we play. We’re always looking for something that’s cutting edge, be it symphonic sound or beautifully rendered graphics. As gamers, we ask an awful lot of the dev teams looking after us.
