    Welp, we finally have the voice spoofer from Uplink.

    “My voice is my passport, verify me.”

        The reference was actually a reference to the earlier movie Sneakers which was one of the first movies about hacking.

        And yeah, Uplink was awesome.

          Random story, in one mission while I was searching a database for a client, I fat fingered the name and it gave me back a different person’s record

          IT WAS MY FULL REAL LIFE NAME

          Spooked the shit out of me.

        Hah, guess there are at least 3 of us here.

        Though I found it randomly on Steam, a decadeish after it originally came out.

        Do not try to play it in 4k. It’ll work, because its an actually well coded game, but there is no scaling lol. Teeeny Tiny UI.

          Introversion habe so far pretty much only knocked out well written games afaik!

          Too bad I also came too late to the party to buy the source code discs they sold at the end of its lifetime…

          My brother played the heck out of Uplink as a kid; thanks to him, I know about the UplinkOS mod, which makes the game (more) playable at higher resolutions. It looks to be an overhaul of the entire UX, so your mileage may vary, I guess.

      I can’t not read that in a garbled south african accent.
