I can't identify where exactly this disc came from. It is an Uplink CD (just the installer and the redbook tracks required by Uplink) that was mastered on April 5th, 1999. I can't find any other mention of it beyond a post on the Something Awful forums (which was just someone mentioning they found it from Goodwill.)

I theorize its an OEM disc or something potentially handed out at game stores in 1999. I don't think its some "hey my internet sucks and I want to checkout Uplink" disc you could of gotten from Sierra as I purchased my disc as new and I doubt someone would of requested the disc and never played it. I also know it is not the ATi OEM disc, as that is a Counter-Strike 1.3 OEM disc (I also own it and have archived it.)

Does anyone know where this came from?

Your joke would be incorrect as its published by Sierra Studios, thank you very much.

Could also be a magazine cover disc but without branding and with how tiny the contents of the disc are, I doubt it.
