-ed2k   SYSTEM15000_FILE_(ED2K_CLIENT_IS_REQUIRED)


System 15000 is a 1984 computer game by AVS.

It was originally conceived, designed, and programmed by John Wagstaff in assembly language

for the Commodore 64.

  • A sequel was planned by John Wagstaff but never released.

  • When you enter the System 15000 User Network in the game and select option 1

  • it lists the then current lineup of AVS games, including Flight Zero-One Five (VIC-20),

  • Whirlwind One-Five (Vic-20) and "15000 Series Games" (CBM 64/BBC B).

  • All games have the number one and five in them.

  • Advertisements for System 15000 challenged gamers to "Beat It",

  •  in reference to the Michael Jackson hit from 1983.

  • Craig Communications, the publisher for System 15000, appears as one of the companies in the game.

  • Their phone number in the game is 837-1099, but in real life their phone number was 0256-55462

  • The Vinchetta online system lists J.L. Wagstaff with the code 15000, in reference to the programmer.

Versions were later ported to the ZX Spectrum and BBC Micro, both written in BASIC.

This was the first game to simulate computer hacking and was followed by Hacker.
