About this game

Uplink: Hacker Elite Overview

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, more dangerous and profitable missions become available. You can speculate on a fully working stock market (and even influence its outcome). You can modify people’s 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–or lead the fight against it!

  • Very unique gameplay – you play as a hacker, breaking firewalls and cracking bank accounts. All this in Hollywood style!
  • Stylized soundtrack that perfectly matches the Cyberpunk game atmosphere.
  • Simple but deep interface that is easy to learn and hard to master.
