Computer Underground
Computer Underground is a fun free game about - you guessed it - the life of a hacker.
Like games like Neuromancer or, more recently, Uplink, your goal in CU is to become the best hacker in the world. Along the way, you'll download and use dangerous computer viruses, upgrade your hardware and software, try to fight other hackers, break into corporate systems and hack into the bank's computer to get money.
Naturally, the type of computer you have determines the level of software you can run. For example, if you have a level 5 computer (Kwik 20), you cannot run any software higher than level 6. Despite how Microsoft behaves in the real world, the game allows you to run any software whose level is lower than that of your computer.
For a free game, CU contains a surprising amount of variety and options that will keep you entertained for a while. Unfortunately, many of the programs in the game (especially the ones you can buy) are not described, so there is no way to know what they do until you buy them. This means that saving and restoring seems to be the best way to play this game; a more user-friendly interface would have made this 'gimmick' unnecessary.
If you like games like Uplink, CU is worth a look. It's not as good as those commercial titles, but it's good enough for a few minutes of fun.
