Ambrosia's Uplink goes universal

Who among us didn't want to start a career in illegal computer hacking after watching the movie Wargames (and who actually did)? You can fulfill your cyber crime fantasies with Uplink, Ambrosia Software's corporate hacking game.

You play as a covert agent hired to gain information from rival companies' computers. As you go, you earn money to upgrade your own equipment, gain deeper access and more.

I only played briefly, but I had fun. Ambrosia released verison 1.6.0 earlier this week, which is a Universal Binary. Other changes include

Updated game content
Toggle fullscreen and change resolutions in-game without restarting Uplink
Various bug fixes and enhancements

If you like DEFCON, another Ambrosia title (we took a look at DEFCON here), you'll probably enjoy Uplink. A single license costs $25US. Uplink requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

Ambrosia ported this game. They didn't create it. Introversion did.

I agree!

I wasted SOOOOO many hours on Escape Velocity (and Nova) It would have been an even better game if it had online support!

I was kinda hoping that EVE would fill the EV spot, but it just didn't :-(

... I'd buy this if it was like $5, but $25 for such an old game seems ridiculous.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this game, but like hell I'll pay that much for it, even if it would be nice to have on my laptop.

This is actually a title by Introversion games, made Mac-compatible by the good folks at Ambrosia.

It's still cool, though!
