Decker: a cyberpunk hacking freebie

Decker, a game mostly unrelated to Decker's Delight Links, definitely isn't a winner in the looks department. Or the sound department. But it's great. Thus, promptly ignoring its technical shortcomings is the obvious -nay, the wise- choice for both the enlightened reader and the mature gamer. For, you see dear gaming readers (or reading gamers), this game has dollops of gameplay, sports a lovely cyberpunk atmosphere, is very addictive and highly playable, while simultaneously offering a rare (and -unlike the forthcoming FPS stinker- proper) Shadowrun RPG experience. Graphics? Pah! William Gibson didn't need no stinking graphics.

Now, click this particularly obvious link and download Decker for free, load up your cyberdeck and hack to your wicked hearts' delight. Just make sure those ICE programs don't fry your brains.

  1. Very nice thanks! Used to play it until a certain point where you will need a lot of XP to upgrade your stats. After that I lost interest :(

    But it's a very fun and addictive game though, you can opt for a stealthy approach (easier) or go for brute force (tougher). I usually upgrade the virus, analysis and decryption programs and stealthily steal source code for new programs :)
