Tracer PC CD breaks though security systems computer hacking puzzle hacker game! Type: Game Platform: Windows Publisher: 7th Level Released: 1996 Media: CD How many times have you heard that in the future, we'll all spend a lot of time in virtual reality? Tracer from 7th Level takes that concept to its logical conclusion. In this game, you are the ultimate computer hacker, a freelance operative who breaks through security systems for the highest bidder. Sounds like fun, right? Especially since you get to do most of your work from cyberspace.But when a big job comes in, with a fee too big too ignore, you discover the downside of living on the wrong side of the law. It turns out that you've been set up. A Tracer virus has been planted in cyberspace to track you down and kill you. You've got to stay one step ahead of the virus and battle your way across 50 increasingly difficult levels to escape from cyberspace with your skin intact.To do so, you have a series of code pads. To move from place to place, you need to align your code pads with those already placed on the cyberspace grid. You have to match them by color, which means you'll need to plan ahead. Fortunately, there are ways to gain additional code pads as you travel. You can also discover some useful special pads that can help you put some distance between you and the virus. This is important, because the Tracer virus will learn your strategies and adapt to you as you progress.As you go from level to level, you'll find additional hardships along the way. New obstacles will appear regularly, and the levels will become larger and larger. Fortunately, so do your resources. For the true experts, Tracer includes a level editor, allowing you to build your own levels of mayhem.For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
