Hey all,

Eurogamer.net said:
Acclaimed PC hacking simulation Uplink is now available to download for iPad, developer Introversion has announced (via Modojo).

A version for Android tablets is also on the way.

Indie creation Uplink, already available for PC, Mac and Linux, received critical acclaim upon its original 2001 launch.

Eurogamer's Uplink review deemed it "an innovative and addictive game" and "a triumph for bedroom game development".

Couldn't believe this when I read it - just bought it and it's exactly like the PC version! :D I loved this on the PC :D

Not played this but remember reading about it at the time and it sounded pretty cool, downloading as we speak :)
 
Looking forward to getting home so I can get this, I loved the demo when it first came out but its one of those games I never got around to buying.
 
Hammered this over the weekend. It's a great port, only negatives are occasionally touch controls make things a little harder (typing in the console is slower than on a keyboard and a couple of the interface bits can be a little fidly to select) also afaik you can't take advantage of a few workarounds (like copying your game file on PC to count as a save in case of FBI etc)

Still a brilliant game though, feels great playing it on a tablet and it encouraged me to go much further than I did with the PC version :)

Haha I used to save my game files also :p Played it for about 3 hours at the weekend and got caught when I got greedy and tried hacking some banks :p
 
I saw the thread title and though "OMG UPLINK THE GAME, SO COOL!" Then thought "Oh actually I bet it's just an app called Uplink, not the amazing game"

THEN IT WAS THE GAME :D
 
Haha :D

I hope they resume development on it... it would be nice to see some new missions or a new storyline :D
