Bitburner is pretty cool too.
Comment on I made a terminal-based hacker simulation game for CLI nerds. It's free. Feedback?

How does it compare to Uplink in terms of gameplay. Uplink was the best simulation style hacking game that I’ve played.

The real value of uplink was that it was a game about hacking, it wasn’t trying to be realistic it had artificial tension added as well as simplified concepts but added gameplay around that. Almost all of the modern hacking games are much more realistic and capable but also miss what made Uplink the iconic game which is gameplay.

Well, IRL hacking doesn’t have exciting gameplay mechanics. So more realistic hacking game might not be such a clever idea.

Agreed. Realism is honestly not needed (although it’s cool that we have such games). You need good gameplay and atmosphere and ambience that give you the feeling of being in a different world so to speak.

I have not heard of Uplink (nor Bitburner). But I rotor recommend you try skynetsimulator.com - I am not affiliated, yadda yadda, it’s just a fun, free, online game.

+1 for Skynet Simulator. Uplink was a ton of fun. Have not tried more than 2 minutes of Bitburner.

It compares in that it’s an AI chatbot actually
