You're an  Operative,  a free  agent  and a  speculator.  Your  home is  the
overcrowded  claustrophobic terminally  ill city of  Misplaced Optimism, the
last  of the crater c lusters on  the barren mined-out  Titan.  Scanning the
comms channel for salvage or sabotage jobs throughout the hostile network of
craters  and tunnel links, you aim to  better your reputation, gain  credit,
enhance your Moth (your  ship, your only  real asset) and  ultimately escape
Titan, a fantasy for all but the powerful and influential.

You  are  free to  do  what  you  want  within  the solar  powered city, the
lightwells  which charge ships  and power  the craters  are  free  but hotly
contested and  you can expect payback  from any serious  criminal behaviour.
It's always a question of who you know; if you scratch no one's back there's
plenty waiting to stab yours.

Your  maintenance is  delivery, escort  and salvage  but as your  reputation
grows  you'll pick  up more  lucrative work like  bounty, assassination  and
demolition.  The pay-off is big  time and so are the risks, but  to trade up
to a Warp drive Moth  with F.U model firepower, on  board CPU, top comms and
interplanetary capability, you need all the Hardwar you can get.

Hardwar  features a true 3D  environment allowing  players to explore all of
their   surroundings.  It  has  extensive  network   options  with   players
co-operating or  competing  for the  limited resources  that are  available.
What  puts HardWar ahead of the competition is the  artificial intelligence.
The Nefarious  Factions, the Police  and Free Traders  within the game  will
all behave, learn from and react to the players actions.

- Some review hype:

"One of the most engrossing and playable games of late." [PC Zone: 85%]

"The game has an epic tone that is hard to resist." [Edge: 8/10]

What was  ripped?  Well this  game was 2 CDs  and a  large portion of it was
FMV.  Those files  were  removed, the  equivalent  meggage can  be  found in
Origin's 64 disk release of  Space Bastard, or whatever the  fuck  that game
available on www.spacebastards.com for $16 is called.

Some of  you may have  thought  certain  limeys/peanuts in  very ORIGINal PC
groups had the UK  completely  locked down... guess you  thought wrong.  Our
boys, completing rather covert operations in deepest, darkest  England found
this title while collecting intelligence on the enemy.  Little did  we know,
but  the  enemy  has  no  intelligence.  Anyway,  the  operation  was not  a
complete  failure, seeing  as they brought  home this  awaited Gremlin title
... Enjoy!
