William Gibson has a lot to answer for (although the blame isn’t entirely his). The introduction of the terms cyberpunk and cyberspace has given games developers a whole new niche to abuse. 7th Level, together with Future Endeavors have unleashed their interpretation on the unsuspecting game playing world. Tracer is a DirectX Windows 95 game which uses Direct3D to good effect. Basically, you as the ubiquitous hacker have taken on a contract to ahem, obtain, some information for your client, only to find that it’s a set-up and that the Tracer virus has been let loose to track you down and turn your brain to mush. Thus the scene is set for you to race through 50 levels of 3D puzzles attempting to evade the virus, reach the data core and make it out in one piece.
