I hope this guide helps you enjoy Uplink for what it is: a Hollywood hacking simulator. This game is fun, though, and is among the best games in the hacking genre. (You probably shouldn't watch Swordfish, unless you like translucent plasticy-looking UIs, fake typing and Halle Berry. I mean, really, what self-respecting corporation would hire someone who thinks changing their International Academic Database dossier to read 'manliest eyebrows in the solar system' as a qualification is a good idea? Well.

I'm not enough of an idiot to not know the difference between the game and reality.

This game does not teach you how to actually hack real-world computer systems either. See my attempts at humor below for details. I'm too much of an idiot to know how that works.

I hope this guide helps! Feel free to contact me with any comments or questions. A tutorial on basic bank hacking has just been added (as of 8-31-2015, anyway)! This guide is just included as a courtesy and general guideline of what someone who's been playing for probably 100 hours over the past decade has managed to come up with.įuture revisions - IRL time permitting - may include basic walkthroughs on missions and modding. Introversion Software, the developers of this gem, have a tendency to reward experimentation in their games, and the game's ultimately simple enough (mostly reliant on timing more than anything else for difficulty) gameplay is such that you will likely determine your own strategy for how to play Uplink naturally. It has a surprising amount of depth despite its somewhat simplistic and dated exterior by today's standards, and over the years has become somewhat of a cult classic. It includes plenty of personal advice, god-awful attempts at humor and yet is largely designed to try and help new players understand the particularly niche form of gameplay this 'Hollywood hacking simulator' was designed to portray.ĭespite occupying a similar sub-genre of strategy/puzzle games like other hacking games, such as Hacker Evolution, Uplink for the most part (aside from maybe one fan-made project) was unique in its time in its approach to a hacking game based on portrayal of the flashy and ludicrous side of hacking in pop culture/media, rather than the more dry, line-by-line reality of computer security itself. This Getting Started guide, based on a personal Steam Community guide, is designed to help you learn to play Uplink (aka Uplink: Hacker Elite) in a manner which will give you at least a 70% chance of not being fired from Uplink Corporation.
