in the shell

anyone know anything more about this?

"Inspired by the manga and animation series Ghost in the Shell, The Laughing Man is a hacking game contracted by Manga Entertainment and designed by Introversion (the makers of Uplink -- the actual game is largely based on Uplink) to promote the GitS: Stand Alone Complex series. "

sounds fun, as is anything based on uplink because as far as games go it was teh sechs.

appears to be it, never heard of it but may be worth checking out..


seems it was a custom demo of uplink for GITS

i downloaded it and loaded it, seems like a neat little game. when i get off work i'll hae to try it for real..

Thanks for the link. Just played through the laughingman demo, doesn't really have much to do with GitS other than having the laughingman logo appear here and there(or i just didn't get to the GitS mini-story yet). Still a great game though; play in the dark whilst drinking endless supplies of caffinated drinks for proper paranoia effect ...i have to go now ...they're tracing this call ..must wipe logs.

I have also played that demo, it has nothing to do with Stand Alone Complex, unless you count the fact that it is a computer hacking simulation and the Laughing Man is a hacker, it is an alright demo.
