Uplink
Uplink is an immersive "computer hacking" simulation,
involving high tech computer crime and industrial espionage on the
Internet, set in the year of
2010. In many ways it is a unique game.
You play an Uplink Agent who makes a living by performing jobs for
major corporations.
Your tasks involve hacking into rival computer systems, stealing
research data, sabotaging other companies, laundering money, erasing
evidence, or framing innocent people.
You use the money you earn to upgrade your computer systems, and to buy
new software and tools. As your experience level increases you find
more dangerous and profitable missions become available. You can
speculate on a fully working stock market (and even influence its
outcome). You can modify peoples academic or criminal records. You can
divert money from bank transfers into your own accounts. You can even
take part in the construction of the most deadly computer virus ever
designed.
Features include:
- Great atmosphere focusing on emulating Hollywood-esque
hacking
- 80s style blue-in-blue graphics
- In-game IRC function to talk to other players
