I'd say she was already a superstar. She had got an Oscar for Girl Interrupted. Gone in Sixty Seconds was a huge hit at the time.

The first of the rebooted series is more of a gender-swapped Rick Dangerous. (Lots of deaths.)

56kbps

Triple the speed of the Pentium. It's not just the chip... it has a PCI bus.

RISC is good.

Was Hackers actually a hit at the time or did it grow into one?

I don't think so, even after time it was never a hit but more a cult-classic.

Shame really, you can't replace the quality of hovering over circuity and giant glass towers throwing out I/O.
