An mid-'00s game designed for mid-'90s resolutions, specifically 800x600. Even though the graphics settings offer 1920x1080, text doesn't scale properly, so it's too small to read without leaving nose prints all over your screen. The inscrutable system menus also inexplicably don't work half the time, so that doesn't help matters. There are community tools to fix the interface, but I didn't know about them when I...

I know it's old. This game still rocks. You'll get lost in the sauce fast with this bad boy.

This game was way beyond it's time. It still dwarfs other games of similar genre. Just shows that simplistic, feature rich, gameplay deth is what makes this game great. Doesn't need fancy graphics to be good. That is what majority of games lack these days. 10/10 Uplink Succesful

Lots of fun as a roleplaying experience. The music is incredible and there are some really cool details in the way the simulation of the world works, and having the whole game run as if it were a desktop client is really neat. There are only so many mission types though and once you've done a mission type once you will know exactly how it goes every time. In just 9 hours I completed the "campaign" missions and did...

Old but gold, amazing game even for newer generations. Game includes awesome tracker music. This game gives you hacker abilities, people might think that you're hacking the FBI (taken from a 4chan post). Does not launch propertly under the native Linux port of the game, so just go ahead and switch on Proton and play the Windows version instead.

Still the best hacking game ever made. Also if you download the "UplinkOS" really gives the game a new life with a more modern UI

An absolute classic. Fairly dated interface so I do recommend using UplinkOS. I have put so many hours into this game over the years! I think this is the 3rd time I've bought it (original cd, sold out version and now this!)

Overall I do not recommend. Especially at full price. Why? If you fail and get caught, you have to start from scratch and do the same thing again. Often you don't even know why exactly you got caught. The game teaches you how to hide your tracks, but you never know how much you need to do it, until you do not do enough, get caught and have to start again. One the one hand I like that. Most of the progression in the...
