From the neural implant data log of Ransom Stark:
* Manhattan, 09/15/2094.
When Melissa Van Helsing invited me up to her daddy's
penthouse to reward me for that merc job, I admit I
had something other than money in mind, but getting
bitten and turned into a vampire wasn't it. Seems
there's a whole gang of these bloodsuckers, and they
want me to join them.
Their mistake. This time they've bitten off more
than they can swallow.
No way I'll follow old Van Helsing's commands. I'll
see him and his whole gang dead, permanently, for
what they've done to me.
But first I have to find a cure for this curse.
Somewhere in this lousy city, somebody knows something
that can help me. Maybe in the labs at TransTechnicals,
the rotten megacorporation that practically runs this
town. Maybe in the Underground, among the rogue
genetechs and cyberscientists who work on the razor's
edge of technology. And maybe in Cyberspace, the bizarre
virtual reality that links everyone on the datanet, legal
and illegal.
And I can't forget Deirdre Tackett, the nervenet angel
who installed my neural implant and saved my life.
Van Helsing's kidnapped her, and it's only a matter of
time before she gives him the secret of Incubus, the
ultimate icebreaker, the key to absolute control of
cyberspace. Somehow, I must save her.
Van Helsing. I'll get that creep if I have to hack my
way through every decker, rage ganger, and security ICE
in Manhattan. He'll wish he'd never heard of Ransom Stark.
If only I weren't getting ... so thirsty ....

In the next century, online services like this one will
have evolved into the global network of Cyberspace. This
virtual world has a life of its own -- but where there is
life, there are predators.
And where humans are the prey, the ultimate predator is
Nosferatu: the VAMPIRE.
MicroProse introduces a savage new role-playing title:
BLOODNET: A CYBERPUNK GOTHIC
High technology meets blackest evil in this cyberpunk
vampire adventure. You play the role of Ransom Stark, an
ex-corporate hacker and mercenary who's been transformed
into a vampire -- and wants revenge. To rid yourself of
this curse, you must brave the streets of 21st-century
Manhattan, where cyberpunks, rage gangers, and mercenaries
rule. More, you must plumb the secrets of the bizarre
virtual reality of Cyberspace as you combat both the
vampires and the TransTechnicals megacorporation, the
company that owns the cybernet. How long can you last
before you give in to the thirst for blood?
BLOODNET is a sophisticated, hard-hitting game rendered
in the unique Hallucinographic(TM) art style. With mature
content for older players, BLOODNET surfs the edge of
popular culture... and beyond.
