I managed to steal 1,000,000 from some poor sucker this time. Transferred all their cash to my own account, wiped the logs on both sides, and then fast forwarded a couple days. Figured I was in the clear and then made a stupid mistake trying to incriminate someone.
Uplink is -kind of easy- up until a certain point. Then it's all about timing.
You're right, it's not that difficult of a game. I just have never successfully gotten as far as I had this time. I've also never beaten the storyline part of the game.
It's been hella long since I played this. And I think I only ever had a demo. Has anything even gotten close to simulating (Hollywood) hacking that's as fun as Uplink? I can't believe the concept hasn't evolved in all these years.
