Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The Dream Wide Web is the environment in which you find yourself: it's a virtual World Wide Web where the Webmaster has their homepage, and it's the game's starting point. One point of note--getting started was somewhat marred by the game's insistence that your computer run in 256 colour mode, a unpromisingly low specification. Despite this the graphics are rather good with something of a "Blade Runner" atmosphere with piles of discarded monitors hiding in the murk, writhing cables and gloomy tunes.

Your task is to vanquish the evil Hacker who has subjugated the inhabitants--now to be found living underground as Subterraneans, who can be called upon to help if you post messages on the Newsgroup boards. The Hacker's hench-entities are Getties, a sneaky and vicious bunch who will do anything for a chocolate caramel. Pushing these through the door of your CD-ROM drive is unlikely to help, however. Instead, you must find cards and the card combinations that let you breach the four firewalls (other combinations are antidotes for the viruses that come from the swamp) using the search engine and information centre that are all part of the game.

To move around you use a white glove-shaped cursor that lets you push, pull, pick things up and generally navigate. It's a tiny bit like wearing a virtual reality glove, an innovative idea that's easy to learn, helped by on-screen prompts.

This is a novel and potentially absorbing game, and if you crack all the firewalls and your telephone bill can stand it, you can choose to play a final online round against the Hacker. --Mark Whitehorn

Manufacturer's Description

Set in a mysterious world based deep within the World Wide Web, Webmaster offers players a unique adventure experience based on hand-to-eye co-ordination suggesting weight, friction, elasticity and other such kinds of tactility.

Via a white-gloved hand that is "put on" at the beginning of each game, players can navigate instinctually and intuitively through the game, as opposed to moving digitally through a pre-planned point-and-click environment. Webmaster is an exciting adventure game set within an original scenario with beautiful graphics that draw players into an addictive and fast-paced journey to the heart of the Internet. Players must progress through four levels with 40 sites to visit during their race to beat an evil hacker who has taken over a peaceful land called the Dream Wide Web. Only once these four levels have been completed and you have successfully finished the game can players connect onto the real Internet for a final online game at the hacker's own homepage.

Webmaster offers endless gameplay with 256 combination possibilities and players new to the World Wide Web are provided with a chance to learn the basics of the Internet in a stimulating and challenging environment.
