The storyline of the game begins with the player receiving a delayed e-mail from a deceased top ranking Uplink agent concerning the research done by the Andromeda Research Corporation, related to the Andromeda organization a ' Anti-capitalist, Techno-anarchist' group which proclaims the destruction of the Internet (however, this email can be cancelled by player). It is constructing a computer virus known as Revelation using artificial life research as a base in an attempt to destroy the Internet. One of the companies, Arunmor, attempts to cross their plans by developing Faith, a counter virus that can purge Revelation. The player can choose to side with ARC or Arunmor or even ignore the plot in its entirety, concentrating on freelance hacking, in which case the storyline plays out without the player's participation.ĭuring the missions Andromeda uses stolen information about 'The Darwin Project,' digital lifeforms that exist and reproduce on the internet and puts it into the Revelation virus. Thus allowing it to behave like a normal human virus allowing it to spread quickly. Numerous attacks on ARC and Arunmor systems also occur in the storyline. Including a mission leading the chief technical director of Arunmor being framed for bank fraud. The government is also said to be helping fund Arunmor's 'faith' anti-virus and is looking to raid ARC and arrest people involved yet lack the evidence to do so before the launch of 'Revelation.'Īfter, the Revelation virus is released the final mission of the game begins and the storylines playout. The Arunmor storyline ends with the destruction of Revelation.

Which leads to a federal raid of Andromeda leading to the arrest of suspected staff members in the company along with a number of Uplink agents, the leader of Andromeda then issues a statement, making no apologies for releasing Revelation, as he argues that the internet became more of an extension of Western capitalism to serve the interest of elites, rather than promote free speech and anonymity. He also says that you will never be safe on the web. Saying that people's lives are on file and waiting for people to tamper with. He goes on to that people's lives are being destroyed by computer technology despite its perceived benefits. He is then sentenced to 8 years in prison. Andromeda then shutdowns operations while shares rise to a new high for Arunmor as they release 'faith' to the public. It is also suggested the government is oblivious to the possible hacks available within Uplink. While the ending of ARC's storyline ends with the destruction of the internet due to Revelation (including the players gateway,) and causes Uplink to cease operations. Uplink focuses on emulating highly stylized, 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 has been raided by the Secret Service) and a nuclear missile control system from WarGames.

It also features at least three references to the movie Sneakers, including one 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' (an anagram to the phrase 'Setec Astronomy') as the username thus allowing them to access a cheat menu.

#Uplink hacker elite mods password#Īnother reference to the anagram is the password 'MySocratesNote', sent to the player in an e-mail which starts the plotline. In addition, the voice print sections use the phrase 'Hello. Verify me.' which is similar to the one Sneakers used. The applications in Uplink are highly simplified, and almost fully automated, similar to depictions in movies such as Hackers. Most of the 'hacking' is of the form: 'there is a security system of type X, level Y that is stopping me from accessing or changing something I need to access or change, so I need to have an anti-X program of level Y+'. There is some need for rapid selection of programs to run, but there is no actual difficulty in running them (provided that one can afford them). The game has a certain number of unusual features, including an in-game IRC client and in earlier versions a multi-monitor feature requiring another copy of the game running on a second computer. The latter was removed in later versions due to lack of stability and popularity and, as it was called 'Network', was often confused with multiplayer gaming (that the game does not offer).
