From the Triton Software Catalog For Your IBM, 1988:
    "Log on, please." That's your only clue. What's going on? It's up to you to figure out. We can't tell you. We won't. As every hacker knows, there just aren't any instructions for this kind of thing.

Advertisement in COMPUTE!, November 1985:
    You've Stumbled Into An Unknown Computer System.

    Now What?


    Welcome To The Next Generation Of Home Computer Software.

    "Plunge into every hacker's dream." -Rick Manning/Louisville Times

    "...the most mysterious game ever." -Rawson Stovall/"The Vid Kid"

    "An open screen says 'logon please.' That's it, no instructions." -Technology Notebook/Gannett News Service

    "Just like in real life, there are no rules, no clues, no instructions." -David Greising/Technology Memo

    What more can we say? Well, someone as clever and smart as you certainly wouldn't want any hints, right? So all we'll say is it was created by legendary designer, Steve Cartwright.

    Temptation.

    To stumble into somebody else's computer system. To be someplayce you're really not supposed to be. And to get the strange feeling that it really does matter:

    "LOGON PLEASE:" is all you get to start with. That's it. From there, it's up to you. If you're clever enough and smart enough, you could discover a world you've never before experienced on your computer.

    Very tempting.



    Back of box:



    LOGON PLEASE:

    What's going on here? Who are these guys? What are they doing? What am I doing?

    In Hacker, it's up to you to figure it out. We can't tell you. We won't tell you. As every hacker knows, there just aren't any instructions for this king of thing.
