As title really,

Only ever played Hacker Evolution and thought it was ok, anyone have any other suggestions?

I second Uplink. It's fun if you follow the story, otherwise it can get repetitive too fast.
On the other hand, why don't you learn the real deal? Not so hard getting into porn member areas, and the fapping following the satisfaction is priceless.

Bought Hacker Evoluton: Untold couple of weeks back cause it was very cheap on a sale somewhere. Decent story and it's difficult to get lost in it. Also the whole adding bounces to make trace call longer thing is a lot less annoying then it was in Uplink since you only have to do it a couple of times here. Plus you can mathematically figure out how many bounces you'll need here.

Bad parts is that it's probably more of a script kiddie simulator since you only ever call 'scan <ip>', 'decrypt <ip>', 'crack <ip> <port>' in 90% of your hacks. The other 10% is when you find some password in a file or an exploit file that can crack some port with a lot less trace level. Game kinda turns into that of resource management: 'how many of these bounces will I need at a later time and does it make sense to hack this one extra server?', 'how high is my global tracelevel and will I have enough money to reset it back to 0% by the end of the level?'
