hacker map

[Marsupilami]

Hi,

 

i made this map 10 years ago, it's not perfect but i hope it will be usefull for someone. I spent hours on this game when i was a kid. I remember that i tried to print (!) the hexa content of the floppy on my 1020 printer to guess the codes

Well...To be honest: When i was young (a looong time ago) : Never (or at least without cheating)

Wow thanks! That oughta come handy!

 

I think I actually managed to finish the game, back then in the day.

As I mention in my blog I used Jaromir Krol's Faq.

there was some differences, but later I read here that Digital Press also have one much accurate.

 

However I could deduce that buying Diamonds (instead Stocks & Bonds) in New York also works, and the hidden entrance to Cube in one step to North of New York also is correct.

 

Also I proved that the printing to the Epson LX-80 is the very same Headline that appears in the screen.

I got REALLY close to beating this back in the day on my Apple IIe, but I could never figure out the fourth security question. It was a fun game, but now it seems a bit simplistic.

This is wrong question . "The best way" doesn't exist because the game lets you complete the mission in different ways, there is an example of solution on atarionline.pl, not the only way. The C64 version is different than Atari one, I'm almost sure you can't follow C64 solution (because I failed when tried to do it long time ago).

Yes, they are and that's what I mention at my blog, the differences between c64 and Atari... they only difference as a swapping to give items away, ie: at Greece you have to give the Scarab and not the Tut (as in c64 is) and in the India have to give Tut and not the Scarab (these two items swaps of locations where have to been given).

What about the Apple II version?

A couple of tips:

 

The Hacker title: http://manillismo.bl...ker-titulo.html

 

and a curiosity if you play the game without input any name at all, in the final newspaper article appears as an "anonymous" has saved the world
