It takes a long time, and is really frustrating, but it's usually quicker than actually doing the missions. In a system that's totally random, you can convince your clients to give you all the money for each mission. Once I can get into Uplink's mission board, I start the most lame part of the run.

The other big trick is using the VeryFast time mode to its full potential, to minimise the amount of time you spend waiting for something to happen. Being quick in general is a case of being one step ahead as much as possible - having tools opened before you need them, for example. The Uplink Test Server's password is always "rosebud", but unfortunately it's about the only system that doesn't have a random one.Ī few basic tricks that help in places, are hitting Tab to focus on the next text box, Enter to submit forms and get through welcome screens, and clicking on "scroll-in" menu items before they appear. I make my profile, hit InterNIC to get a load of Internal Services Machines (ISMs) in my links, set up a really long bounce in the map screen, and complete the test mission so I can get started. As Uplink randomises most of the data in the game upon creating a profile, you can't research people and systems in a single-segment run, so it's all improvisation. Of course, the most obvious way of doing that is by hacking a bank, but that takes a bit of work. Which means getting loads of money, upgrading your system and getting all the software you need.
The "storyline" starts on April 14th, the game on March 24th, meaning you've got 21 game days to get set up. The first ten minutes or so of pretty much any single-segment Uplink run is going to be done in the same way. Luckily for that poor bugger, I'm going for a bad ending here. Go for the good ending, and someone's going to have to define when the run actually ends, because the game doesn't. Long story short, it's an open-ended strategy game.

This run was done on Uplink v1.55, which is the latest version at time of running.īefore I get started, much luv to the whole SDA team, but particularly to nate and ballofsnow for their hard work on the anri-chan movie encoder, and mikwuyma for putting up with my annoying PMs constantly. I've been working on stuff for about 15 months, but this particular one took only a few weeks to get down.
Hi guys, hope you enjoy my first run on SDA. Available in four versions: low/normal quality DivX, and high/low quality H.264 MPEG-4. Single-segment speed run of Uplink: Hacker Elite, done on December 7 2007.
