italiano: 

Se ami il C64, amerai tornare dove tutto è iniziato: prompt, floppy e astuzia. Netshacker è un’esperienza costruita per retrogamer esigenti: terminale autentico, logiche credibili, zero scorciatoie.

Non è un “gioco che finge di essere retrò”: è un prodotto con mentalità old‑school e cura moderna. Ogni output ha un senso. Ogni missione si risolve con testa, non con glitch.


english:

If you love the C64, you’ll love going back to where it all began: prompt, floppy disks, and cunning. Netshacker is an experience built for demanding retrogamers — an authentic terminal, believable logic, no shortcuts.

It’s not a “game pretending to be retro” — it’s a product with an old-school mindset and modern craftsmanship. Every output has meaning. Every mission is solved with brains, not glitches.

There is a bug in the last mission using dos. Instead of "john /etc/passwd" it must be "john passwd".

It is weird nobody reported this problem.

ok I'll check this out!

A good game. I finished the missions used linux version in 45 minutes (because of loading times and someone calling me in the wrong moment).

Don't find the secret missions, but so far, so good.

Thanks again for the feedback. I hope you find the secret mission soon!

I hope so. And how to run the three games. I got only snake to work.

Very interesting. it reminds me of nethack (of course) and bitburner. I wish a few things were more immersive. eg. I typed whoami and su, both commands that don't exist and I found myself typing ls -al looking for hidden and . files, but this doesn't work either. All in all a good game! I'm on mission 4 and I spent time playing the three video games as well.

Thank you so much <3 Maybe in the next version I will implement more commands, I hope you will find the secret mission ;)

Once I did find the secret mission, I have to say, it's the most realistic. I hope there are references to memes like Hunter2 😂

he who seeks finds!

Chiamarlo gioco è riduttivo. Una vera e propria esperienza videoludica per i nostalgici del terminale ma anche per chi è a digiuno e vuole provare a destreggiarsi tra telnet e portscan. Grande lavoro. 

Riporta ad atmosfere passate,  molto coinvolgente, con difficoltà crescente e ben bilanciata. Ottimo progetto.

Thanks again for leaving the first comment and trying the game!

Nice designe👌
