Uplink: Hacker Elite
Description
You play an Uplink Agent who makes a living by performing jobs for major corporations. Your tasks involve hacking into rival computer systems, stealing research data, sabotaging other companies, laundering money, erasing evidence, or framing innocent people.
You use the money you earn to upgrade your computer systems and to buy new software and tools. As your experience level increases, more dangerous and profitable missions become available. You can speculate on a fully working stock market (and even influence its outcome). You can modify people’s academic or criminal records. You can divert money from bank transfers into your own accounts. You can even take part in the construction of the most deadly computer virus ever designed--or lead the fight against it!

- Very unique gameplay - you play as a hacker, breaking firewalls and cracking bank accounts. All this in Hollywood style!
- Stylized soundtrack that perfectly matches the Cyberpunk game atmosphere.
- Simple but deep interface that is easy to learn and hard to master.

Best hacker title out there
Just remember to do everything you are taught in the beginning, as if you don't, they will trace it back to you and you will be caught. To those that say they did what needed to be done and you got found later, you forgot to do something, plain and simple. I have completed the game, and on my first play through, I never got traced once. Note to pay attention to your email, as an important message will eventually come through near the beginning. If you miss it, you will be hacking systems with no story. Enough said.

Bought Again!
I had previously purchased this game at CompUSA in a single jewel case/cardboard sleeve. but seeing it here on GOG made me happy! This is a very good hacking sim (it uses the keyboard; all of the keyboard, not just the WASD keys...) gives you a excellent atmosphere for the activities you are engaging in. This is unique, and kinda a niche game, but if you have some computer/network knowledge, it can get quite fun!

This eternal jewel never gets old for me
I always come back to this. The ambiance, the aesthetics, the "open world"-ness of it all keeps pulling me back. I've never even gotten to the story missions, to me it's always a good time to just fart around hacking things
