Man, makes me want to go back and play some Uplink. Shit's fire!
If you feel like a more modern game, I really like https://store.steampowered.com/app/605230/Grey_Hack/
It has its own scripting engine, so you can write in-game programs to do exploits and things. It’s not super complex, but you do need to actually write code to play it well, but I really enjoy it
The old school vibe is a feature in Uplink. It's some proper hack the planet shit
Of course, I love Uplink, my suggestion wasn't meant to bring it down, just to provide a recco for a spiritual successor to scratch that itch
Definitely helps to be able to at least read and understand code. I remember the documentation being decent enough. IIRC it was a thing to provide scripts that look helpful but actually contained malicious code to do all sorts of nasty things to your in-game system. It's really cool.
Does the in-game editor have vim keybindings and syntax highlight? I can't work without these,
lol there is this (https://github.com/ayecue/greybel-vs) and this (https://github.com/ayecue/greybel-languageserver) for when you want to go hard on the greyhack scripting
I should be less surprised xD
Gog has you covered
it is also on steam should anyone prefer that
