GameVortex's review of Uplink. I'm not going to spend much time discussing the graphics and sound of Uplink, because that's not the focus of the title. The interface is crisp, clean blue, reminiscent of many 'Movie OSes' that we've seen through the years (intentionally), and it works very well. There's no spinning 3D madness, no polygon-smashing power, just simple 2D. While it's definitely cool that the Bundle now comes with the code for these game, make sure you read the license for publication of any finished product; while it's understandable that Introversion would want people to pay for the software, the license requires that a developer contact Introversion if they make a port, and they don't allow porting to a multitude of consumer devices (anything.

You do not need to combine date with awk, date has its own formatting ability (man date for info). For example, I typically use this:
/bin/date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'
which produces a date like '2003-06-05 10:09:26' which then sorts correctly in the Finder (or anywhere) so that you can sort by name and always see the correct date order of your entries.
I just bought and got addicted to the game, and although I miss the infinite continues of Escape Velocity, I think that the risk of an unusable game makes it that much more of a challenge. I am tempted to use your backup method, but for now, I will continue to test my l33t sK1lLz ;o).

You can combine tarring and gzipping into one step; just specify 'z' as one of the command-line options to tar, as in 'tar czvf'. You should probably make the suffix of the output file .tar.gz or .tgz, so StuffIt and other GUI apps know what's up. This shortens the second line of your script.
