Yeah, Uplink has nothing to do with rpg's, shoot-em-up's or anything like that. It is a hacker game where you work for the Uplink co-orporation and fulfill missions for other companies. Your interface is basically a different PC (called a gateway) and your missions vary from simply deleting a company's data files for a rival company to chnaging people's criminal record and getting them arrested. You have to be careful, though, 'cos if you don't cover your tracks the company catches you and that game user is game over and you have to start from scratch. You can make back-ups of a user file, though, by just copying it and removing the copy from the uplink folder. When you get caught just delete the obselete file and copy over the back-up.

PS: You also do not need the CD after installing the game, but you have to enter a different code each time you create a new user from a small black wallet inside the game case.
