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!)

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

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 everything. Buy it on sale
