Woah. I haven't heard about this game in like a decade! Thanks for the nostalgia.

My grey beard must be showing. I remember it like it was yesterday. The pure OpenGL graphics, the "slide in from the right" email "spam". The matrix-like tumbler of hex that would "crack" an encryption. It was a perfect game for a small studio.
Great game, it's actually on Steam.

This game was so fun! It was one of the things that got me interested in software development, along with Learn to Program BASIC (a game about programming games)
I think many of us played that game a little too much when we were young. I remember always going back to it.
