Hacking related video games

  • Syndicate (1993) - RTS with a cyberpunk theme.
  • Syndicate Wars (1996) - RTS with a cyberpunk theme.
  • Uplink (2001) - Terminal hacking simulator.
  • Enter the Matrix (2003) - Written by the Matrix creators and containing an hour of original, movie quality cutscenes filmed during matrix 2, this game was broken as fuck on launch and dissapointed millions of fans. Even with official patches and fan fixes it's still shit. If you're keen, watch someone on youtube play through it.
  • The Matrix: Path of Neo (2005) - While playable, it's still really bad. Gamifies all your favourite Neo scenes from the movies, and has snippets of film straight from the movie. While it is playable, you don't want to play it. Watch someone else do it on youtube, or just play the original Max Payne.
  • Darwinia (2005) - RTS with an AI theme.
  • DEFCON (2006) - WarGames simulator.
  • Watch Dogs (2014) - Grand Theft Auto clone with hacking elements.
  • Superhot (2016) - FPS with MS-DOS-as-fuck menus/theme.

While not necessarily hacker related, playing an ASCII only terminal game is pretty nerdy.

  • NetHack (1987 - ongoing) - A roguelike with a fantasy theme.
  • Dwarf Fortress (2006 - ongoing) - Village management simulator with a fantasy theme. Very deep gameplay for it's very shallow graphics.
