YOU'RE AN NAME - SIR

E.Y.E. Divine Cybermancy had a really good hacking mini game. You had to fight the thing/enemy’s AI (with differing levels of difficulty depending on their stats) that were trying to hack you back back simultaneously, and if you lost the mini game you got hacked yourself, with effects ranging from having silly cartoons flashing across your field of vision to lethal brain damage. If you got hacked back, you had to hack yourself to gain control again. Hacking consisted of lowering the enemy’s defense, attacking it to lower its HP, buffing your own defense and raising your own HP, and was pretty quick-paced. Like everything else in that game it was poorly explained and an interesting revelation once you got it working.

The outcome of EYE’s hacking is cool, but IU wouldn’t say the mini game itself is that great. I remember it as just clicking a choice of 3 buttons as a reaction to how the AI was interacting with you. If your stats are high enough, you can hack stuff really quickly though, which is good.

YOR'N NAME; SIR

Actually it’s much easier than that, the AI is highly predictable and there’s a very easy dance of moves that can hack anything, given time. Once you see behind the curtains it’s disappointing, but at first it’s exciting.

Yeah, I remember just doing a sequence of 5 things to hack stuff because it pretty much always worked.
