    "There was a brief last minute problem when the Valve guys ran into the "Cracked by DMA Crew" bootloader and actually thought some hackers had compromised the build they were releasing. You just can't make this stuff up. Reminds me of the reports we used to get of games journalists unplugging their network connections because they were terrified Uplink (our first game) was actually accessing the Internet and connecting to Government systems." ~Chris (Introversion staff) commenting on the result of one of the start screens added to Darwinia.

      @omni I loved Uplink. Darwinia not so much.

      @omni You should have seen the looks I got when I started playing Uplink on a plane.

        @ceruleanspark I still have Uplink on CD, but I can't get it to run under my Linux anymore (some libraries are literally too old). I should ask the Uplink guys if there is any way of receiving an updated version if I prove that I bought a copy from them some time ago :P

          @omni It was ported to Linux for the Humble Bundle it was released on.

            @toksyuryel I'm not sure when the Humble Bundle was, but I'm sure my copy is several years old and shows "RedHat Linux 6.2 (i386) or compatible" on the box.
