I wish I was good enough at Uplink to make it to the score screen. I also just kept getting sidetracked.

I managed to steal 1,000,000 from some poor sucker this time. Transferred all their cash to my own account, wiped the logs on both sides, and then fast forwarded a couple days. Figured I was in the clear and then made a stupid mistake trying to incriminate someone.

Uplink is -kind of easy- up until a certain point. Then it's all about timing.

Once you get good at cracking the banks, you basically have unlimited money. Then upgrade your gear like crazy.

For me, I never got the hang of the mainframes with multiple steps and routers and such. Still a fun game though.

What was the mistake?

[–] kinther@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I was on one of the missions to ruin someone's life and got caught somehow. My guess is I forgot to wipe logs somewhere or was too slow when adding a fake crime to their profile in the GCD.
