The Uplink Strategy Guide!

Frinkruds

I just made or should I call it revised an already existing guide to make it better then ever. Because of this, I feel obligated to tell you about it, in hopes you can give me suggestions and feed back.

Here's what it is:

Quote

This guide contains pretty much everything you will ever need to know to be successful in Uplink, and is designed to help those that have never played the game before to get to grips with it, but also to allow people who know what they are doing to see if there is anything they could do better. It has mission guides, general tips, and although it won't actually contain all the secrets of the game, it will point you in the right direction to finding them your self.

Here's what it is not:
A place to find down right lazy cheats, hacks, or any spoilers. You won't be finding this stuff as it could possibly ruin the game.

You can find this great guide here: (url="http://"http://www.macgamer.net/games/uplink/index.html")http://www.macgamer....link/index.html(/url)

Remember, I'm open for suggestions, comments and any ideas you might have.

_If your wondering why I stole his guide, well I didn't, I asked him permission first.:) _

Very nice.

Oh, so I take it there will be no easter eggs page.
Good job, I'm just sad most of the sections I wanted to visit were still under construction.

Frinkruds

Good thing that those sections are going to be done soon.

While photos would be nice they really are not neccessary for this kind of thing. Don't stress out over them Taylor.

Frinkruds

Not to worry, I won't stress about anything.

But what do you mean by photos?

Very nice so far. An FAQ would be helpful. If you do write one, you should make sure you include such things as how to delete files from your memory banks, adding qualifications, basicly the things that almost everyone has pondered about at some time or another.

Am I the only one who thinks it'd be common coutesy to put Icepick's name in slightly larger letters, given that he did write the UUG and all?

He did a great job and all but I don't want credits taking over the whole page. Besides, it was fine with him. If I made it bigger then it is now, it would be bigger then the text containing what it's about. Then the contrast would be off.

Yeah, but I mean it's his work. It's not like you're filling the page with beta tester's names in <h1>s. He's, you know, the author. It's more or less customary to let people know that outside of the copyright notice.

Bah. You know what they do to people like you in Argentina?

Well, me neither. But I bet it's something really bad.

And on that note, I'm going to bed.

Hi, I really like that your site is so clean and user friendly. It is also very well edited (that's what usually makes for good writing, eh?).

SPOILERS
Upon reading it though, I was concerned about your description of the final Arunmor mission because, you make it sound like blowing up one's gateway is the only option. I found that I did have time to clear my logs about every five times I broke into Servers and I didn't have to destroy my gateway. I just think that your description of how to beat Revelation should be more clearly designated as a strategy. I know that it should be inferred because of the proceeding "Alternate Ways of Fighting Revelation" but, not everyone may get that.

On a side note, you say "Run Revelation Tracker straight away, as that will give you IP's of infected systems." But, you don't have to manually run the Revelation tracker. In fact, I think it is sent to you in an email and runs on it's own but, I'm not sure.

I have always needed to run it on my own.

Thanks. The thing is, I didn't write that so I didn't know about it, but I will look into it.

Not that one would realize that just looking at it...
