From the Article:<p>&gt; “I’ve been in this game 27 years. Not once have I come across an animated singing virus.”<p>Clearly never used an Amiga during the 1990s.

I felt that, overall, Sneakers holds up fairly well for the technology of the time and nowhere near as silly as Hackers. The article&#x27;s only complaint on Sneakers is the universal key that breaks crypto, just American crypto per the movie and not all crypto by the way, which was just the macguffin.

Doesn&#x27;t anyone feel insulted that the hacker is depicted as a drug addicted dysfunctional social outcast with an invisible friend.
