Uplink, Darwinia, Defcon...man, these guys can do NO wrong!!!

Yeah, they've done some good games. They seem like a nice bunch of dudes too. Two of the guys from them were on the GameSpot UK podcast once, and it was really cool. They had talked about some really interesting stuff."

You wouldn't happen to know which episode, would you? I was talking to sebFlyte (Alex Sassoon Coby) on Twitter, and apparently he went to university with those guys. That's pretty cool. :)"

Uplink needs a sequel that integrates everything to the desktop, so you have different "apps" that use a different window each and can all be moved or minimised or whatever like standard OS windows, but of course in reality they're all part of the game still, just structured in this way to add to the immersion. Making a fake OS screen was a tad silly. But, great game still, best hacking game there is for people who don't actually want to learn. It's cyber punk-ish instead of realistic, but it treads a fine line between immersion and coolness.

But whatever, I look forward to Introversion's Subversion, just wish they had made an Uplink sequel instead of Multiwinia.

You can log into InterNIC to get some more locations. The more servers you go through the longer the trace will take.

Hacking into the Social Security place is god damn hard. I had to give up and I lost a rank. Luckily I managed to get the guys to pay me half before I started... Having to destroy the proxy and then find a password to get in is too difficult for how few hops I can have at the moment.

I just bought the game the other day, now I have a target, to get more than 24700 points on my first play through.

Apparently I can get people to buy a game just by showing them a single screenshot. I should get into marketing. :D"

Uplink is often infuriatingly hard, adn probably the most stressed a non-competitive game has ever gotten me. But nothing more satsifying than completing your required hack, deleting the logs and disconnecting with only a  second left on the tracer

"You just got me to buy this game. Good job."

You just got me to buy this game. Good job.

"You ruined the lives of 0 people."

I totally forgot about this game and how I wanted to give it a go some time.

"Do you actually have to learn to hack for that game?"

Do you actually have to learn to hack for that game?
