It’s tough being a great computer user, but without the grades to prove it. As
a mediocre college student, you plug in your computer one day and decide to
check out the hack about networks in New York City. But keeping out of trouble
has never been a strong point and it won’t be long until you may stumble
across something that will put you on the wrong side of those who control the
law.

Digital Hazard is build on the same framework as exoSyphen’s other Hacker
games. The player’s only eye to the world is a console interface showing the
position of systems on a satellite map, the status of traces, the current
action and a general overview. Much of the screen is taken up by the command
line interface into which you will type various UNIX style commands to connect
to and manipulate computers on a simulated internet.
