This does have something to do with Uplink.
I recently dusted off my copy of Uplink, am allpatched up to 1.55, and even have a separate install of 1.60 in hopes that Onlink had come along far enough. I R Disapoint?
Anyway. What's happening lately? I know that is there are any Uplink clones out there, the communities around those games have probably wandered off by now. We do not have a sequel (Do NOT shoot me...it figures into my thoughts) or other upgrades/addons/patches from IV.
I have been reading up on C++ programming, trying to teach myself (my discipline really doesn't afford me the chances to just sit and teach myself...but I can program a damn good game in BASIC) and believe Uplink to be a good 'something' to help me learn. I did end up buying the DevCD and WILL plan to actually use it some day.
What I am looking for are any still actively updated mods, user fixes/patches, unofficial updates to help the game play better/longer. I seem to remember a mod that started making the Gateway a more integral and interesting part of the game, like changing Memory to RAM and adding in hard drives. New softwares, etc. It was pretty impressive and I may... be... I think I may be thinking about one of those 'clones' that some are working on.
So. Anyway. Not only questions but just sticking the rod in and stirring a bit to see what happens.
