Uplink first came to my attention quite a few years back with the name Hacker Elite on the end. It has recently been re-released on the Steam software service under the name Uplink: Trust is a weakness.
Whichever name it is, the game is an underground gem, and should not be forgotten. Since the game does not have graphics of any kind, it cannot possible become out dated. It is an intense ride that will have you trying for that elusive million dollar bank hack!! And anyone can learn the ways to do it with the games tutorials and help program. The game involves everything so seamlessly, you feel like you are an actual uplink agent.
Another side note i have is to check out the diary that comes with the game. A small story of a hacker in 1988. Compelling and if you read it before you play you will be so motivated that you will forget its a game... you will get caught and run to your front door to lock it before the feds run in. Ok, ok.. maybe not, but i think you get the concept. Anyone who has the chance should check this game out.
Ben's Rating = 8.7/10
