You know the picture, you've seen it in most RPGs, only instead of weapons and armor, you have chips and wires.
UPLINK HACKER ELITE VS UPLINK UPGRADE
You make money so that you can buy new upgrades to your system so that you can take bigger and more important jobs so that you can make higher sums of money which in turn allow you to upgrade your computer some more. You'll need to take jobs hacking into other computer systems to make money. In Uplink, you've been invited to be part of a worldwide hacking organization that grants its new users 3,000 dollars initial cash, a gateway computer, and access to their job board and equipment stores. From the very beginning, there is no fancy intro, no hint of a huge plot to destroy the world lurking in a cutscene, just a login screen, plain and simple and inviting.
While the game is still too simple for you to really feel like a hacker, it's about as close as any of us normal folk are ever going to get to the real thing. Because of the way it was built, you feel like you may actually be on the Internet hacking into someone's computer. So jumping into this interface was a lesson in elegance and immersion. Having seen hacker movies or movies with hackers in them or just plain movies with computers in them, I can say I've never seen interfaces so slick on anybody's actual computer screen. While most people will immediately point out the fact that Uplink does not have state of the art graphics with the grandest and most fantabuloso 3D engine, I'd argue that its simplicity works to its advantage. Real hackers need not apply, your job is probably much more fun to you than this game would be. Uplink: Hacker Elite explores this growing electronic opportunity in what is certainly a unique and interesting title that will keep wannabe computer hackers enthralled for hours. No, a smart and educated man or woman can notch out a nifty little life subsisting on hacking into the Internet, which is quickly becoming something most world leaders are depending on. New gadgets are unleashed to move past security, understanding of electronics can keep high tech crooks out of jail, and best of all, like the money and information flowing across the net, crime is no longer confined to the substantial world of steel vaults and trigger happy policemen. The fun thing about crime is that it always keeps up with the time. It manifests itself in different ways, like in the people who mug others, who run oil companies, and who sell Castles & Catapults to an unsuspecting public. Almost everybody has a sneaky criminal side to them.
