If you’re old enough to remember green-screen monitors, bulletin-board systems, and the 1983 movie classic “War Games,” you need to check out The Hacker for iOS.
It’s a game, yes, but also a kind of love letter to fans of DOS, text adventures, ASCII games, and old-school hacking.
The app “installs” the Glider Operating System, in all its green CRT glory, on your device. Once you get past the amusingly realistic DOS-style setup screens, you’ll find yourself able to connect to the Glider network, along with its mail system, Web browser, and game emulator.
