Guilty! I even wrote my own web-based hacking simulator game because of the influence Uplink had on me. A couple years ago I started working on a new web-based UI[0], the start menu icon at the bottom left surely will feel familiar :)

I played it a bunch. It was a real fun game. I liked how easy it was to come up with and execute your own crazy heists.

Uplink was such fun back in the early 2000s

When I lived in [redacted] a few years ago I realised I lived not far from the Introversion offices and by chance met up with them a few times which was pretty cool. Still got my v1.0 CD of Uplink with the bonus mini-CD in storage :)

Remember when it began to make the modem connecting noises, and pulling the cable just in case it was connecting me to a foreign number.
