Quick thinking is a requirement, as is some patience: the story is a measured tale of technological intrigue with little action not taking place on a computer screen.

Certainly Uplink has a lot of in-game documentation prepared for players who find themselves lost, but the game will be most enjoyed by those who don't mind diving in before learning how to swim. However, Uplink should appeal greatly to that certain kind of techie mind that loves exploring and playing with unfamiliar systems to unlock their secrets. Make no mistake: the sandbox-world of Uplink is vast, and might be quite imposing to those who find non-fictional computing enough of a hassle. Classics of casual gaming like Exploit, SlaveHack and Digital: A Love Story owe Uplink a great debt, as does, for that matter, any game which sets the player in front of a fictional interface to crack. As time goes on, a dangerous conspiracy is slowly revealed, and you'll have to decide whether the color of your hat is white, black, or somewhere in between.Īnalysis: As mentioned above, Uplink has had massive influence on the hacking sim sub-genre.

Money can be spent on upgrades and new programs which will allow you to hack higher levels of security. Of course, the computers of the world are protected, and if you take too long or fail to cover your tracks well enough, the FBI or worse may soon be knocking at your door. Generally, gameplay will consist of dialing the Uplink Internal Server to accept missions, hack into the proper server, bypassing the security, accomplishing the designated task, deleting all evidence that you've ever been there, then disconnecting to collect your reward. Along the bottom are buttons that will display your software, hardware, memory, and financial details, and on the lower left there are the e-mails you receive. Along the top you will find the in-game date and time controls (generally, the game takes place in real time unless sped up by you), a series of bars that will let you allocate CPU to various programs you run, and a world map that shows the bouncing route your connections take.

Expect a whole lot of shiny progress bars, random phone animations and password hackers that will lock in one letter at a time. Largely textual and utilitarian, it's reminiscent of a cross between the Jurassic Park computer system and a 1980s BBS. The interface of Uplink is uniquely stylized one.

Originally released by Introversion Software in 2001, and streamlined into the Hacker Elite version for the US market, the latter is now available for purchase from the lovely indie and retro game outlet GOG, and it's a worthy addition to any gamers library. Good luck!Ī cinematic simulation of hacking that owes more to Wargames and Sneakers than Kevin Mitnick and Adrian Lamo, Uplink: Hacker Elite is a quality and influential bit of cyberpunk intrigue. We can't prove anything, but hackers who cross them tend to end up disconnected. And one last word of warning: Watch out for Andromeda Research.

Mod creator Cpt.McBacon calls this week's release "its final, Gold version" though he does note "Now, this doesn't actually mean the game is done, no game is ever done, but at least I've reached a version that’s as stable and as polished as I could make it". UplinkOS comes in two flavours, one for the Steam version and another for GOG. Mostly they say things like "This is great!" and "It's really good" while stumbling around rediscovering bits of their own game. If you're curious about what Introversion make of this makeover, hey, you can watch them play with it. The original Uplink, for comparison, looks like this. Fancy! We've mentioned UplinkOS before but now, after several months of beta, a final release has arrived. Along with a new look, UplinkOS brings fab features like support for opening multiple windows at once, now draggable and with tabs. It's now looking super-fresh too, thanks to the amazing makeover mod UplinkOS. Introversion Software's seminal hacking sim Uplink may be fifteen years old but it's still one of the finest hacks 'em ups, Brendan will tell you.
