Uplink Hacker Elite 1.55
http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j185/BloBB_photos/uplink.jpg
Plot:
"In the game, the player assumes the role of a hacker in the year 2010, who begins work for the Uplink Corporation, which is a world-wide company providing work for hackers. The player amasses money, software, Gateway hardware and skill in the course of performing jobs for various clients, hacking servers of global corporations for profit. The storyline of the game begins with the player receiving an e-mail from a deceased top ranking Uplink agent concerning the research done by the Andromeda Research Corporation, related to the Andromeda organization which proclaims the destruction of the Internet. It is constructing a computer virus known as Revelation using artificial life research as base in an attempt to destroy the world wide net. One of the companies, Arunmor, attempts to cross their plans by developing Faith, a counter virus that can purge Revelation. The player can choose between two companies or even ignore the plot in its entirety, concentrating on freelance hacking, in which case the storyline plays out without the player's participation."
Style
"Uplink focuses on emulating highly stylised, Hollywood-esque hacking, as seen in movies such as Hackers, Sneakers, WarGames and Swordfish. References to these movies can be found throughout the game, including joke servers for companies such as Steve Jackson Games (which appears to have been raided by the Secret Service) and a nuclear missile control system from WarGames. It also features at least two references to the movie Sneakers. One of which can be found in the first version of the game (and was later removed in an update released by Introversion) which is a cheat code in which the user has to enter TooManySecrets as the username thus allowing him to access a cheat menu. This is a reference to the film Sneakers (an anagram to the phrase "Setec Astronomy")
The game has a certain number of unusual features, including an in-game IRC function to talk to other players and a "multimonitor" function which allows the player to play the game over two screens (disabled in version 1.34), using a LAN connection to another computer running the game. This feature is often mistaken for multiplayer by some, due to the fact that in the original versions it was mislabeled 'Network'."
