Overview
Running on
id Software's
id Tech 1, HacX is a first-person shooter set in the future. The game plays much like other
id Tech 1 games such as
Doom,
Heretic or
Hexen, but was unfortunately rushed out the door before the release of
Quake in 1997. It's also a rare licensed reverse-engineered commercial mod - HacX's developers, Banjo Software, reportedly paid
id Software $5,000 for permission to release the game.
Two of its developers now hold high-profile game industry jobs.
Iikka "Fingers" Keränen works for
Valve, with credits on
HL2: Ep 1 &
2 and
Portal, and
Kenneth Scott became an art director for
ION Storm and
id Software before moving to
Microsoft Game Studio in August 2008.
Free to Play
The full version of HacX can be downloaded for free from
the creators' website.
