60 of 73 · most liked firstimo the very best video games are immediate followups in the same mould as a previous thing. you spend a few years figuring out how to make your game, ship it, then make more of that exact thing now that you are good at it. Dishonored DLC. Prey Mooncrash. Half-Life Uplink. Splinter Cell Blacklist

unlabelledView post →(I would play Earth 2150 against my friends and spam out the cheapest spider chassis with the cheapest long range missile launcher attached and absolutely dominate) Uplink was, I think, a text based hacking game, but I could be remembering wrong.
unlabelledView post →Starfarer, in 8pg zine format and chock full of art by @chaoclypse.bsky.social I started playing a solo game using these rules on Monday, and will update these rules if necessary as I play through the World-Ocean. Grab it on itch, or as a Monthly Games member on the Ansible Uplink Patreon.
unlabelledView post →Chilling and catching up after a hectic flurry of work and other stuff, and remembering the many, many hours I poured into the hacking simulator game Uplink in 2001-2002. The debut title from 'The Last of the Bedroom Coders' Introversion Software. The musical vibes of this game are sublime <3
unlabelledView post →in my misspent youth i played a lot of a game called Uplink, which was a campy hacker simulator that was remarkably fun to play if kind of grindy, and had a story that kind of punched above its weight in ways i don't think i appreciated at the time
unlabelledView post →This project is a hacking simulation game focused on realism and technical depth —inspired by Uplink and Elite Dangerous. In this first video the basics are introduced and the direction of the project is shared If this seems interesting, follow for updates! #gamedev #indiedev youtu.be/3tagY-3WhKA
unlabelledView post →🎮 Uplink (2001) ★★★★★ Really old but great computer hacking game. One time I was playing it on a plane and accidentally freaked out the person next to me via @popfeed.social
unlabelledView post →🧵 I'm a couple days late, but Half-Life 2 was a monumental game that left a HUGE impression on 13-year-old me, and I can hardly believe it's been TWENTY YEARS. 👴 At the time of its release, the only Half-Life I had played was the Half-Life Uplink demo, and lots of CS 1.6, if you wanna count that.

unlabelledView post →idly thinking about a game that's like Uplink (i.e. a hacker typing type of game UI) but it has the side effect of teaching you markdown
unlabelledView post →Half-Life has been a top 5 game for me since first playing the Uplink demo on a PCGamer disc. I try and replay it once every few years and this time, I fired up the ray-traced version to see it in a different light and wow... It really adds to the atmosphere!
unlabelledView post →UPLINK. Introversion Software's first game is still one of my favourites. Its minimalist aesthetic and well-crafted MOD tunes gave it great atmosphere, and once you figured out the hacking gameplay, it was super-fun, too. Never beat the story, but I loved the varied missions. 76/365 #365games
unlabelledView post →Reminds me of the game Uplink
unlabelledView post →Here’s some progress on a (very soft) emulation of text-mode rendering in #godot — I’m in the very early stages of a hacking game (think Uplink or Hacknet)

unlabelledView post →Been playing BitBurner a bit lately. Idle hacking game where you write JavaScript to do stuff on fake computers. Meta story described through file contents like Uplink too. It's a lot of fun if you like that sort of thing. For some reason "machines inside of machines" games are fascinating to me.
unlabelledView post →28. Favourite game developer Introversion Software! They're the creators of several amazing games: Uplink (my fav hacking game), Darwinia/Multiwinia, Defcon, Prison Architect... and I've always enjoyed their devlogs.
unlabelledView post →Uplink is indeed a terrific hacking game, one of my favorites. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uplink_...
unlabelledView post →I noticed today that Introversion Software has released its latest game, The Last Starship. Their prior work includes Defcon, Prisoner Architect, Darwinia, Uplink...going to check this out tonight. #indiedev #steam #spacegame store.steampowered.com/app/1857080/...
unlabelledView post →Started Thousand Empty Light ( @alfredvalley.bsky.social ) after the Ansible Uplink episode ( @chrisair.itch.io ) and enjoying it so far after a bit of work getting used to the game loop and oracle system. I’d had an idea for a new sci-if adventure I might try as a solo project after this.
unlabelledView post →Is this counting Half-Life Uplink as a Half-Life game? because that's genuinely really clever and I never considered that. Or is this another case of someone thinking Opposing Force released after Blue Shift lol
unlabelledView post →I know you mean it in an action game context but several RPG-ish games like Uplink where you have to wait some days for a specific outcome do feature them. I think stealth games would be better with having one (like when waiting for patrols to pass by) but it would probably be bad for The Vibes
unlabelledView post →If we leave off the free demos (Uplink and Lost Coast), that would be Opposing Force, which is still solidly an 8/10 if not more. You can't go wrong with any HL game really
unlabelledView post →I always think of Uplink which was probably my first intro to that type of game. These games always just make me wish the OS was real lol

unlabelledView post →Yesterday, for the first time in 24 years since I first played the game, I finally beat the main story of Uplink. All of my past playthroughs ended prematurely either because I made a careless mistake, got traced and busted or because I just missed the story happening.
unlabelledView post →Yeah, Ive even run into games that don't really work on modern Windows just work in Linux. Actually the only game Ive had trouble running is the native version of Uplink? I think its a weird X11 -> Wayland issue. Running the Windows version works fine though so.

unlabelledView post →#295 and #294 Always been fascinated with "hacking" as a concept in games. Some fun DOS ones in the 90s, but in 2001 Uplink came along and showed everyone how it was done. Later, Quadrilateral Cowboy released and I don't think I've ever felt as much like a Swordfish-style hacker since. #365games
unlabelledView post →Played through the Half-Life: Uplink demo this morning. Good fun, gonna keep an eye out for the full game, reckon it could do well.
unlabelledView post →4: Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This game helped me process my depression, so it has to go on the list. 5: Uplink: This was my first indie game, and the only similar game I've played is HackNet. Both are good. 6: Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. My favourite C&C game, from before EA moved from […]
unlabelledView post →Hacknet! Uplink! For a more curated puzzle game, Exapunks from Zachtronics As for mystery solving, a harder tack and one I don't have immediate suggestions for, but plenty exist
unlabelledView post →Uplink is, yes, a hacking game, and it's available on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/1510/Upl...
unlabelledView post →Uplink was amazing for making "progress bars: the game" still be utterly riveting.
unlabelledView post →I tend to use the soundtrack to the early-2000s hacker-themed computer game Uplink. I played it so much in college my brain associates that music with doing fine-detail-oriented work under a tight deadline.
unlabelledView post →Uplink is a game I keep revisiting, in part because the soundtrack has never left my mind, but also because it's really really hard (to me), in a fun way. It has this way of teaching you to be subtle but also think on your feet. As a game from 2001 (!!!) I think more people should talk about it.
unlabelledView post →Half-Life: Uplink Neat little demo that released a few months after the game and made available once again through the 25th Anniversary update. Consists of a level that isn't in the full game where you fight some typical HECU and Xen enemies with a Gargantua setpiece at the end.

unlabelledView post →Uplink is so fucking good. No other game in history has done the hacking thing anywhere near as good as
unlabelledView post →#21 i'm gonna fudge and recognize 2001's Uplink, a hacking simulator game with what i feel are some pretty deep mechanics that i still think hold up well today. Also every game Introversion has made is a stunner, they apparently can't miss.
unlabelledView post →Ha, reminds me of an old game called Uplink.
unlabelledView post →Never heard of that one, but "Uplink" by Introversion Software (2001) did 😎👍🏻 Brilliant Indie game 😍 They also released the games Darwinia, Scanner Sombre and Defcon.
unlabelledView post →My first association of that line is with the PC game Uplink, which was of course homaging Sneakers
unlabelledView post →i really want another game like Uplink nothing I've seen feels like it... i want to be a hacker criminal, man
unlabelledView post →that game is awesome. if you like that there's a similar game called Uplink.
unlabelledView post →Uplink is a hell of a demo. TBH some of it's sections are better than the chapters of the game that they ostensibly pull from.
unlabelledView post →Second monitor dedicated to a game of Uplink in the background
unlabelledView post →I replay Uplink roughly every 4-5 years because there is literally no other game like it, that scratches that specific itch
unlabelledView post →UPLINK! Such a fun game
unlabelledView post →Having the voiceover on the comms towers say "hello rook" when I was in AI Uplink about made me piss myself I love this game so much.
unlabelledView post →Hoi there edgerunners, jack into twitch.tv/GenCyberpunkPod tonight at 6 pm CDT where we discuss the 2001 video game Uplink. See you then! #videogame #cyberpunk #podcast #livestream
unlabelledView post →(sorry, couldn’t resist) Uplink is a computer game from, eh, uh, probably 2001-ish? set in the far-off future of 2010, that is all about Hollywood-style hacking. Dial in to corporate mainframes, steal data, digital bank heists, etc. Fun gameplay and *excellent* music.
unlabelledView post →okay, game idea: A hollywood hacking simulator, like Uplink/Hacknet where you're crackin passwords, grabbin secure data etc... Except the desktop isn't 2D. It's the fucking COMPIZ CUBE. and the 3D interface is a core gameplay mechanic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR8x...
unlabelledView post →This is so cool! A genre I've never heard of but know I love. The game Uplink has stuck in my brain for so long. What a delight.
unlabelledView post →@scarius.bsky.social and I were chatting so much for this week's Ansible Uplink that I made a Tangential Orbit cut of our episode for patrons that runs an hour longer full of dumb stories and game chatter. www.patreon.com/posts/tangen...
unlabelledView post →Actually I don't even think it was a full version of the game on the disk, it was the Uplink Demo with Counter-Strike and Team Fortress but i still ended up with everything when I tried the code in like 2004 or something.
unlabelledView post →www.twitch.tv/elyssa207 Game called Uplink: Hacker elite.
