BASIC stupidity

Uplink.

one of the simplest and hardest games I've ever played. Also horrifically addictive once your drawn into all but its shallowest depths.

It's a hacking game. You break into computer networks and rob banks, alter records and delete files in a glorious Sneakers style. (That's probably Swordfish style to younger readers)

The concept is simple, don't get caught. Cover your tracks, route your connection through about 100 other computers, delete all trace of records at some point in the chain. Several if necessary, place false trails, incriminate others, alter their criminal records and have them arrested for random crimes (Goat Molestation was my personal favourite)

DO NOT EVER
EVER
EVER
get bored and transfer a random £1000 into one of your own accounts during a money transfer mission.

BANG. Game over. End of test.
6-10 odd hours of game time wasted, all because I thought I was above the law.
Ah well, back to the start I suppose.

games, gaming
