Hey guys,
We've got our lawyer putting together a cease and desist letter for all retailers of Uplink : Hacker Elite.
That basically means any website (other than the Introversion Website) that's selling Uplink. I'd be really grateful if anyone who knows of a website selling Uplink to note it down here, so we can chase them up. If you can, an email of the webmaster + a real world address would be ideal. I've already got the starting of a list, but I know that people have spotted it available elsewhere also.
Lets sort this, once and for all!
Thanks
Tom.

Trygames -
http://trygames.com/game/aff=trygames/v ... 85e5395482
Games2Download -
http://www.games2download.com/free-stra ... uplink.htm
This one, and many others Ive found, seem to link to trymedia, which a lot of places have listed as the publisher. (
lhttp://www.download-free-games.com/sim ... uplink.htm for example) -
https://fe.trymedia.com/magnus/bbyt.htm ... c=trygames
Amazon.com has it, although it only seems to be used copies being sold by people, not sure if that counts. -

Why the hell is it listed as an exoSyphen game on that site
Who does the money go to?

Another few websites for you guys
http://www.terragame.com/uplink_hacker_elite.html
this is a bit odd as the Google hit for the site said, play uplink online, but we all know uplink is not online
http://games.ncbuy.com/downloads/title_11507.html
i don’t understand how they are doing that, but i hope this helps
http://games.canada.com/game/aff=t_03st/vid=9cef11ac939982d92c230b85e5395482
again seems a bit iffy to me, check it out and see what you think
http://www.strategyfirst.com/en/games/Uplink/store/
hope this one helps as well, they aren’t offering a boxed copy, just a download for it
I have also noticed that a lot of the game sites point to trymedia. but i think they are selling boxed copies of the game, not sure. Well good luck IV, hope you guys finally get the big pay day you deserve

Well seeing as how they said Hacker Elite, not the Trust is a Weakness version, no.
I haven't seen any lately, just the ones where people are selling used copies.

"TRUST IS A WEAKNESS" is used in the SF version too. Atleast, the one I have

Erm, isn't Trust is a Weakness simply the motto of the game, not a separate version? =]
