AppSmile: Uplink, a re-creation of a decade-old hacking game, has been brought to the iPad by Introversion Software and is now available from the app store. A mostly text-based affair, Uplink’s minimalistic interface still manages to create more tension and excitement than most games we’ve come across.

David at GameSpew writes: "Back in 2001, hardly anyone had a mobile phone, the internet connected using uncomfortably loud and ridiculous noises, and hacking had only really been seen in Scanners or WarGames. Despite this low awareness of hacking and the limitations of the technology of the time, Introversion Software, a small and independent British developer, decided to release Uplink to the world. All I can say is: thank you, Introversion Software. Thank you."
