An Australian 1999-2001 series about a group of high-school kids, working as game testers for the video game developer Catalyst. It lasted for two seasons.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Five "tech wiz" teenagers: Mike Hansen, Alison "Pi" Renfrey, Rebecca "Bec" Chan, Marcello Di Campili and Abraham "Ram" Foley come upon a secret message on the internet. It leads them to Alexandra Davis, the president of a struggling video game company Catalyst, who is looking for brilliant game testers. Within the first episode, the protagonists all get hired, and soon discover and befriend a quirky artificial intelligence named "Virgil Reality", who from then on frequently serves the role of the show's Plucky Comic Relief. A lot of the episode plots revolve around video games, the Internet, and other modern technology.The series was a success, was nominated for several awards, and received a novel adaptation. And yet there's still no DVD release, so if you want to watch it... tough luck.

Early Installment Character Design Difference: Virgil's virtual form gets a redesign in the second season—in the first one he looks like a blurry splotch with a face, in the second one he's simply a floating head.

Film Felons: A non-film example—in the episode "Rear Windows", a criminal gang releases a game on the internet to "crowdsource" a kidnapping strategy from the unaware players.

Exact Words: Episode "Free Stuff" — Marcello tries getting rich by creating a program which searches the internet and automatically accepts all offers which include the word "free". Too late he realizes that it also accepts offers along the lines of "buy for 10000$, get one free" and the like.
