The game uses several songs originally made in S3M, mod and xm format. This feature is often mistaken for multiplayer by some, due to the fact that in the original versions it was labeled 'Network'. The game has a certain number of unusual features, including an in-game IRC function to talk to other players. There is some need for rapid selection of programs to run, but there is no actual difficulty in running them (provided that one can afford them). Most of the 'hacking' is of the form: 'there is a security system of type X, level Y that is stopping me from accessing or changing something I need to access or change, so I need to have an anti-X program of level Y+'.

It also features at least two references to the movie Sneakers, including one which can be found in the first version of the game (and was later removed in an update released by Introversion) which is a cheat code in which the user has to enter TooManySecrets (an anagram to the phrase 'Setec Astronomy') as the username thus allowing him to access a cheat menu. References to these movies can be found throughout the game, including joke servers for companies such as Steve Jackson Games (which has been raided by the Secret Service) and a nuclear missile control system from WarGames. Uplink focuses on emulating highly stylised, Hollywood-esque hacking, as seen in movies such as Hackers, Sneakers, WarGames and Swordfish. The player can choose between two companies or even ignore the plot in its entirety, concentrating on freelance hacking, in which case the storyline plays out without the player's participation. One of the companies, Arunmor, attempts to cross their plans by developing Faith, a counter virus that can purge Revelation. It is constructing a computer virus known as Revelation using artificial life research as a base in an attempt to destroy the world wide net. The storyline of the game begins with the player receiving an e-mail from a deceased top ranking Uplink agent concerning the research done by the Andromeda Research Corporation, related to the Andromeda organization which proclaims the destruction of the Internet. The player amasses money, software, Gateway hardware and skill in the course of performing jobs for various clients, and hacking servers of global corporations for profit. In the game, the player assumes the role of a hacker in the year 2010, who begins work for the Uplink Corporation, which is a worldwide company providing work for hackers.
