Uplink Hints

How do I destroy a system?

  • 1 of 7: There are two ways to destroying a system.
  • 2 of 7: One is by a virus attack, and the other is via the console.
  • 3 of 7: See What can I do with the console? for details on destruction.
  • 4 of 7: *Plot spoiler coming*
  • 5 of 7: If you've received Revelation v1.0, you can use that to destroy systems. This will NOT affect your Neuromancer Rating in any way.
  • 6 of 7: Simply copy the Revelation into the machine and run it from the console.
  • 7 of 7: 'cd usr', 'run revelation' will do the trick nicely.
