Official description

In the next century, online services like this one will have evolved into the global network of Cyberspace. This virtual world has a life of its own -- but where there is life, there are predators.

And where humans are the prey, the ultimate predator is Nosferatu: the VAMPIRE.

MicroProse introduces a savage new role-playing title:

BLOODNET: A CYBERPUNK GOTHIC

High technology meets blackest evil in this cyberpunk vampire adventure. You play the role of Ransom Stark, an ex-corporate hacker and mercenary who's been transformed into a vampire -- and wants revenge. To rid yourself of this curse, you must brave the streets of 21st-century Manhattan, where cyberpunks, rage gangers, and mercenaries rule. More, you must plumb the secrets of the bizarre virtual reality of Cyberspace as you combat both the vampires and the TransTechnicals megacorporation, the company that owns the cybernet. How long can you last before you give in to the thirst for blood?

BLOODNET is a sophisticated, hard-hitting game rendered in the unique Hallucinographic(TM) art style. With mature content for older players, BLOODNET surfs the edge of popular culture... and beyond.

Comment

Directly from the game box:

MANHATTAN 2094: I met her in the penthouse, expecting payment for the freelance job - and perhaps a little more. Bit I got more than I bargained for. I'm now part of an exclusive fraternity that moves catlike in the night through a world of high technology and senseless violence. I need to find a cure for this curse, even if it means hacking through every ICE in cyberspace, every rage ganger in Manhattan, every corrupt executive in the megacorporate hierarchy of faceless fools. My name is RANSOM STARK. I'm a Vampire....

- Recruit cyberpunks, rage gangers, mercenaries, and hackers to aid in your fight against the vampires.
- Immerse yourself in the bizarre virtual reality of cyberspace, where anything is possible.
- Experience a breakthrough in role-playing with astonishing 3-D Hallucinographic art.
