      Hacker is an old game on the Atari ST. It is in fact one of 
the  first game offered by Activison for our  favourite computer. 
When  you first look at the game you think to yourself  "This  is 
going to be easy" but you soon find out that it not as simple  as 
it looks.  The biggest question that everyone asks is what do the   
orientals want?  Well you will soon find out in the solution that   
follows this text.

       For future enjoyment there is the sequel  from  Activision 
called Hacker II.  Also you might find interesting to read a book 
called  "Out Of The Inner Circle",  A Hacker's guide to  computer 
security   by  Bill  Landreth.   The  teenage   computer   wizard 
apprehended by the F.B.I  Microsoft Press ISBN 0-914845-36-5

     Step by Step
     ------------

    This  step  by step solution is for the  under  ground  tunnel 
system  only and not every move you have to make in the  game  is 
here  but only the steps you have to make in the  tunnel  system. 
When  you  see  E6 this means you turn East and make  6  step  by 
pressing  East  when  done  press GO and  continue  to  the  next 
instruction at the end of the steps you go UP and you are now  at 
the location specified.

   You start at T (Starting Point)
      go E6, N4  you are now in Swiss

   From S to E (Swiss to Egypt)
      W4, N1, E6, S2, E1 you are now in Egypt

   From E to G (Egypt to Greece)
     E1, N1, W1 you are now in Greece

   From G to I (Greece to India)
     E1, N2, E2, S3, E1 you are now in India

   From I to O (India to New York)
     W1, N3, W16, S1 you are now in New York

   From O to J (New York to Japan)
     W6, N1, W14, S2, E5 you are now in Japan

   From J to N (Japan to China)
     W4 you are now in China

   From N to C (China to Carrabean)
     E1,  S3,  E2, N1, E4, S1, E2, S1, E2, S1, E8, N3
     you are now in the Carrabean

   From C to L (Carrabean to London)
     E8, N2, W2, N1, E3 you are now in London

   From L to F (London to San Francisco)
     W3, S2, W12, N1, E1 you are now in San Francisco

   From F to W (San Francisco to Washington)
     W1, S1, E10, N2, W2, S1, W3 you are now in Washington
