Uplink: Hacker Elite

I love this game it's fun addicting, starts easy but can get hard if you don't know what you're doing and just feels good to hack in. That being said f**k the main story, I didn't care in the slightest and it required expensive resources I didn't have and didn't really need for much else at the time so I ignored it. But it turns out it's on a timer so if you don't complete it it will literally give you a game over and brick your save file. (all deaths in the game are permanent and make you start from square one) I would seriously pay real money for a button I could press to disable the main story or at least stop the timer. if anyone knows of a mod please tell me. But in spite of that the game is still phenomenal and you should get it, it is more than worth it at full price and if it's discounted at the time you're reading this get it now, if your computer is capable of reading this comment it's probably capable of running the game so don't even check... GIVE THEM YOUR MONEYS!!!!! They earned it.

The fun part of this game is when you have no idea what to do and stumble around making mistakes. But once you understand the steps to solving a problem, it becomes a tedious process and makes you want more difficult puzzles to solve.

Maybe some of you still remember that late 80s game, Neuromancer. If you played it, and you loved it (all the Comlink, the upgrades, the BBS, and all the astonishing world of William Gibson), you will love Uplink. All the best from the past, right in front of you.

It's a lot of fun once you know what you're doing as the hacking in the game can get quite tense when you're down to those 10 seconds. But the game can be broken. After getting caught a few times I made a new character and got a mission to delete or copy files as usual. Only this time the file servers were empty, rendering me unable to complete the mission, leaving me with the only option to abandon several missions and love my Uplink ranting for no reason what-so-ever. But if you don't run into those bugs, the game is very fun.

Back in my college days I use to quite often hack into the college infrastructure, there was a small group of us who had fun doing this, a little community grew hacking into those old BBS systems, this game had great nostalgia for me. As addictive as it is frustrating, one false move, and its game over and you have to start over from scratch, but with that said its great fun and I don't think I've ever seen anything quite like it before, do not make the mistake of over looking this game, least you find yourself with a revelation
