:) LOL indeed.
I thought it odd there was no linux version yet.
I went straight to the CLI, of course trying to use wildcards like ls Rc* etc would not work so it is basic but still they have many real commands in there at least.
:)
[update]
could REALLY use wildcards so we can delete filenames. Wildcards only seem to work to say "all files" ie rm * but if you tried rm SL* you can't do that. This forces you to type REALLY long filenames (sometimes case sensitive sometimes not which is another problem). Sure this is fun but proper wildcards would help and consistency with filenames.
Still having a LOT of fun. I got busted and another hacker deleted x server so I had to restore. Lucky I know what I'm doing ! :)
Oh......could also REALLY use the cp command !!! :)

If it does, it would have still been more realistic to use working wildcards :)
[UPDATE]
Yes auto complete types in the filename so long as you have a unique match else it lists you other things that matches. Also it does not really unbalance anything. Because wildcards do not really work as they should, auto complete is a good compromise.
Still enjoying the game although I only play for a few missions every 2-3 days now. Bit at a time. :)

I see that the free HackTheGame now has an online one called "HackerForever".
Pity it is an MMO, I'd like something like this but fully offline with AI players only, I hate anything that you have to play online.

I almost bought it on Humble which has the Linux version. Glad, I quickly checked GOG to see that they have the Linux version as well. :-)
