High tech computer crime and corporate espionage on the Internet of 2010
...perverse and brilliant; precisely the sort of work that should be coming from the underground, and a game which will be just as compulsive in tree years' time, when the graphical rush of today's blockbusters have faded into obsolescence" PC Gamer

High tech computer crime and industrial espionage on the Internet of 2010.
You play an Uplink Agent who makes a living by performing jobs for major corporations. Your tasks involve hacking into rival computer systems, stealing research data, sabotaging other companies, laundering money, erasing evidence, or framing innocent people.
You use the money you earn to upgrade your computer systems, and to buy new software and tools. As your experience level increases you find more dangerous and profitable missions become available. You can speculate on a fully working stock market (and even influence its outcome). You can modify peoples academic or criminal records. You can divert money from bank transfers into your own accounts. You can even take part in the construction of the most deadly computer virus ever designed.

CD Case:
TRUST IS A WEAKNESS
"I am a hacker, enter my world... Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for. I am a hacker, and this is my manifesto."
Excerpt from the "Hacker's Manifesto"
