Datajack, a 2D cyberpunk stealth action / RPG game

Reminds me of the book Neuromancer and Uplink, an excellent hacking game. Can't seem to beat Bite The Bullet very successfully. Has anyone else played this?

Blizzard is managed by dark sorcerers, and probably have enough money to bail-out the federal government.

I have played it and enjoyed it quite a bit, its a very good game for being free. Nice that he put in a three different endings too, only have finished one tough and that's the Corporation one.

Here's a few tips i have:
- First thing you should do is buy some decent armor, this will save you a lot of money in medical bills.
- You should be using pistols trough about half of the game. There is no rush on buying any other class of weapons untill you start meeting cyborgs.
- Remember to sell all info you manage to gather on computers and datanodes on your missions, you can sell them at the Data Broker(I think that was the name).

The mac10 is awful. I like the needle gun for its accuracy at long distances, though I'm probably spending too much on firearms in the first place. I'm guessing the trick is to either stick to subterfuge or force, as splitting your money on some half-half loadout means you're gimped in both worlds?

Interesting game.
Ran into bugs into tutorial, pretty sad.
Is there any screen that lists which software I'm using?

-- EDIT: Oh, it's right under the hardware. Derp.
