** For the long forgotten line eater **
I have seen several references to HACK in different
newsgroups as to location of sources and .EXE's, but I have
yet to hear exactly what it is! I saw someone mention that
there was a version for the great DEC Rainbow 100, but
somehow I managed to lose the reference that I had.
Can someone please mail me a reference to either a Rainbow
version or a generic MSDOS version? I would like to get a
look at it and would be happy to distribute it to thousands
of Rainbow users in the DEC community!

<> Hack has been uploaded to DECWARE a FIDO BBS in NYC. The number is (212)-535-8924. It seems to run on a 512K Rainbow but I did not test it extensively for lack of a Rainbow before uploading it. Sam Chin allegra!cmcl2!acf4!tsc2597 tsc2597.acf4@nyu.ARPA

It is a D&D type game that is quite addictive. PC-HACK has a few enhancements, some of them are quite nasty (to the unwary player). It can be downloaded from several FIDO systems on the east coast: FIDO#79 - DEC-WARE - 212-535-8924 FIDO#483- Wash-A-RUG - 703-359-6179 It may be available on other FIDO or other RBBS systems as well. In library format, the file will take 41 minutes to download at 1200 baud. You also need at least 256 Kb of memory to play HACK on your Rainbow. The Rainbow version will supposedly work on the IBM-PC using ANSI.SYS, but I have no way of confirming that.
