Uplink (And all other Introversion games)
« on: November 24, 2011, 02:26:08 am »

Discuss Uplink and other Introversion related things here. Rather than made 3 separate threads that will die and be necro'd every month, making an Introversion in general thread should keep it aloof for a while.

If you need help with Uplink or any other Introversion game, post it here instead of derailing the Humble Bundle thread.

Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

Here's a pretty good Uplink guide I found.

I so wish Uplink was a little more expansive. I loved it so much that I played it to death in like a week and a half.

And all the mods out there just made everything take longer or act more confusing.

Yeah, that's pretty much the (only) guide for people to read.

Same.

I was having trouble on a server with an annoying admin always tracking me down before I finished what I was doing. I hacked into the police database and got him arrested. Sadly he was still at work the next day.

I personally got sick of other hackers deleting files before I got a chance to steal them.
So I hacked into uplink, stole their member list, and got every last one of them thrown in jail.
And yet, other than the news feed, I didn't see any change in the game world.

Abstain from that next time. If you successfully hack Uplink, you'll get an Email offering you a special job. That's all I can tell you without being too spoilery.

Keep the member list, get the job, do it, THEN get all of them thrown in jail?

Also, how do you change your username is DEFCON to something other than 'Newplayer'?

Hmmm.


Let's try and recall. I believe there should be an options selection on the main menu. That isn't it, I don't think. I believe you have to go into your game, and click on your name. It should have an option there for changing it.

It's been almost a year, if not more, since I last touched it, though, so...

Options>Other>Player Name
It won't change the text in the box, but it changes your name ingame.

DANG YOU Multiwinia!

Honestly the Darwinia demo was possibly the best Demo I ever played. It felt like a small and fun game with a very interesting story.

Unfortunately Multiwinia ruins it with... what its existance implies.

I started Darwinia, and I played the first stage and was unimpressed. I haven't played more yet, because Uplink is taking my attention.

I like the story more.

That essentially the Darwinians are essentially sentient lifeforms. The problem with Multiwinia is that it sort of is like a videogame based on you being pure EVIL!
