This is the computer you dial into from your remote location and is used as a “buffer” to conceal your identity and hopefully keep you out of jail. Once you have been accepted as a freelance hacker for the Uplink Corporation you are given a “low interest loan” of $3,000 and a modest gateway computer located in a nearby city. The 60GHz CPU in my Gateway hacking system is well beyond what we have now, and memory storage is measured in Giga-Quads and your Internet connection is measured in Giga-Quads/sec.īy keeping the interface simple and the technology real, the designers have created a very believable atmosphere that will keep you on the edge of your seat and on the edge of paranoia as you begin your career of professional hacking. The game takes place in 2010 so there is a little “forward thinking” as far as system specs.

The disc spins up and you are presented with a cryptic login screen and the option to “Create a New Account”. Out of curiosity you open the package to find an unlabeled CD and throwing caution to the wind you pop it into your PC. Junk…junk…bill…junk…bill…hmmm… What is this? A small package, perhaps a CD mailer, with no return address. Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.Imagine, one day you are sifting through your mail.
