They send you two amount adding up to £1 and you enter the amounts into the security boxes and then your ready to go

If you have online banking (i.e. dont have to wait for a statement in the post) then you can be registered and verified in a couple of days.

Awesome game. Spent many sleepless nights infront of my pc racking my brain over how to do some things

Never heard of this before.

Nor had I heard of Defcon - think I'll be trying these out tonight!

I recently saw on Steam that Uplink had a new HD trailer... i thought WTF new uplink?!??!? but sadly i was disapointed it was a HD trailer for the original uplink. Evenso I dug out my old uplink game and installed it again hehehe.

I've got my way to 21 on the agent list and just started hacking banks looking for loan info for my clients when i stumbled accross a guy with 100,000...

So i quickly created an account in this bank and went about transfering his money into my account, i then deleted statements of him sending and me ever receiving any money Then went and bought myself the uber 800,000 Gateway. TO MY SURPRISE.. it was only after the purchase i realised that i stole 1,000,000 + lolololol I still have 900,000 to spend. This game brings back good memories.

Im gonna try and hack everything and destroy everything lol. MUHAHAHAHHA maybe bruce willis will show up at my door and wanna kick my ass.

Another thing you can try if you want more money but don't know who has all of it...

... hack the admin part of the bank and you'll get a big list of bank account numbers. Write them all down and break into them one by one until you find a good one

Could someone please explain what this game is about?

Getting rich and hacking people's bank accounts?

Sounds good!

Awesome game. I played it for ages at one point but I then found an account with a stupid amount of money in it. I could upgrade all my gear to the best so it just got pointless after that.

That's basically it dude

Much more fun then it sounds.

Do you actually have to know anything about hacking/coding to get anywhere on this?

Inquisitor · 4 Feb 2008 at 19:08

One thing that kind of annoyed me is the invalid IP addresses that you find in the game, like 834.125.503.12. They're octets, dammit – they should be 255 at most :mad:

Nope. Real hacking is very different. Still an awesome game though

Jesus christ that is a bit of a pointless criticism of a game which doesn't contain any realism at all anyway

Ghosteh · 4 Feb 2008 at 19:40

Bah, I set the speed to high accidentally, and completely passed the whole point of the game. Ah well, I'll restart, see if I can do it without stealing millions lol.
