chrisvenusWell, I am well and truly happy again now. I decided I'd play uplink (http://www.introversion.co.uk/uplink/) since I hadn't for ages and mentioned it to a friend. I went to find the web page for him and found a patch adding extra functionality to the game as well as other bug fixes. Uplink now has a built in IRC client. How cool is that? :) I can be leet from in game now! :)
They've also added functionality for LAN hacking by the looks of things. I guess this is going to be effectively hacking their gateway server to get access to the LAN and then going through the rest of the system from there. They let you find out about all these things in game though so I know very little until I play it lots.. On the other hand I am quite experienced and I reckon I should be ready for a bank job after about 3 hours of play at which point I can upgrade to the hottest computer system on the block (and buy IRC HUD component if that needs to be purchased). Then I can hack anything... :) (though you could argue that if I can hack banks then I can hack anything... :)
Anyway, game beckons. *bounce*
Oh, and to clarify http://www.introversion.co.uk/uplink/ where there is a downloadable demo. The game (and demo) run on both windows and linux (no experience with the linux version though). I highly reccomend it to everybody. If you like the demo then it only costs 20 quid to upgrade. And I think I might even get free stuff if I attract someby else to buy it so do tell me if you do. :)
http://www.introversion.co.uk/uplink/ - I love it so much that you get the url three times. :)
