System Shock games and the name belonged to both EA and now defunct Looking Glass, which means EA can neither sell the old games nor make a new one. Very unfortunate.
There is something called System Shock Portable, it works from things like UBS-sticks and uses the DOSBox. AFAIK you don't have to configure anything, just unzip the files and play. But you better read the manual first of course^^ There is even a hack included that allows you to mouse-look like in modern FPS, I think this wasn't possible in the original SS and you had to turn around/ look up and down with the keyboard. Whatever, just google for 'strangebedfellows' or 'ttlg' for more information.
GOG needs to get this game and the 1st. I mean fuck, the Doom series, Duke Nukem and even Blood have been re-released and transferred to different systems all the time. Why not the System Shock series dammit!
This game(At least, the CD version) uses SVGA Graphics, wich means you need at least a microwave to run it. Well no, more like, DOSBox, but still, you get the point.
I love classic 90s games. Sadly this is one I missed growing up, will have to give it a try sometime. Heck I still play Master of Orion 2 though, lol.
Remember back in the day you use to look at a game like this when it first came out and all you can think is "Wow, look at those amazing graphics!" this will forever remain a classic for that.
Very, very good game. The plot, the arcade... Specially the plot, one really feels inside the thing. And it really tested the mind if you played with all plot elements and highest puzzle difficulty. The kind of thing that plain shooter games NEVER manage.
Even though System Shock and Bioshock are sister titles and made by the same folks, Bioshock is by far the more superior title. system shock had a great plot but it was very rough around the edges. Bioshock is the wiser, smarter, better looking of the two.
Bioshocks steam punk qualities keep the fans coming back for more. System shock was futuristic and that's all.
yes of course the graphics are dated but the gameplay was really revolutionary for its time and had a great story to boot. This is one of my favorite games right next to say wolf3d and doom
One of the best games ever - still unbeaten in its genre, even by System Shock 2, which was itself a damn good game. CRPG have been getting far too oversimplified these days. This game proves you can still have "action" without having to sacrifice on lots of choices and options, and a good inventory :)
there are only about 3 today games that are good. i enjoyed bioshock, its good, mass effect 2 is one of the greatest shooters ever in my opinion.And last but not least an original xbox game, oddworld: strangers wrath. the best freakin xbox game ive ever played.
I'm fairly certain that means he has an opinion. Gasp, a person who's opinion you disagree with! I also don't see you backing up your personal attacks with "substance" either.
HERP DERP. Why would this guy even bother playing rpgs, I wonder. It's like playing a racing game and bitching about how you have to arrive in first place to get the trophies. HERP DERP.
@yoshie257 yeah the late 90s was the golden era for pc and videogames. now its just about shallow gameplay and the big bucks...with a few exceptions of course.
@Arcadia117 System Shock 2 can no problem, I don't know about system shock 1. It probably can with tweaking but the game hasn't aged well at all. You don't need to play SS1, I would just play system shock 2 which is a better game anyway.
I was first introduced to this game through a comparison of retro FPSs. It seemed that this game alongside Marathon had an actual plot as well as innovation.
This game I find was as a good as Bungie's Marathon. Also, it was also advanced at its time (the game even looks good too!) I really need to play this game. Time to get DOSbox!
Probably more so System Shock 2, but yes. I never had the patience for System Shock myself, but I thought System Shock 2 was awesome, more so than Bioshock.
Yep, well this franchise anyway, the sequel System Shock 2 released in 1999 has a very similar storyline and gameplay just replace "abandoned underwater steampunk city" with "abandoned cyberpunk spaceship".
TRIVIA ALERT! - the code for the door being 451 is actually a reference to the classic sci fi novel "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbary. The first code used in system shock 2 is also 451, as well as the first code in both Bioshock games.
Honestly, just stick with System Shock 2, this game is too dated by todays standards that it will feel frustrating if you don't have nostalgia to back it up. It was a great game for it's time, but it hasn't aged well. System Shock 2 however despite being 11 years old is still a great FPS-RPG and well worth playing for anyone.
@Colton5 its called google....type in the name of the game and the word "download" you'll findit eventually, or even on the pirate bay they might have this somewhere, you just have to check...i plan on DL'ing it myself to try and play it on the wii....way too many Emulators on that system O_O
@iMerkzZx2k It's not really that simple, most old games like this require some sort of DOS emulator like DOSBox to run, and they're heavier than it sounds. You actually need a pretty decent system to get DOSBox running smoothly.
@iMerkzZx2k You need a good PC for this on dosBOX since dosBOX runs the emulation shitty as hell, seriously people lag on this with like 3 year old computers...
@iMerkzZx2k Of course I got that the microwave part was a joke, I was just enlighting you and other people that you really do need a newer cpu for this to run well on dosbox...
@residentevilrulesall Oh sorry they are remaking System Shock 1 using the System Shock 2 engine. I believe there is a trailer of it on here called: CCP: Welcome back to Citadel Station
This is the only video I find of System Shock 1, albeit a demo, that plays the OPL3 music properly...
I play using SSP, and Medical Suite is missing a pitch bend effect that happens on the lead synth to the intro section of the music, and to the lead guitar of the action part. But in this video the effects are intact.
i refuse to read that bioshock copied this game...really? are people going to compare a game in space to a game 100 phathoms under the sea? just because the character here swings a pipe and in bioshock you swing a wrench doesn't make it a copy...for goodness sake bioshock was inspired by a book by Ayn Rand...was this game too?
And "copied" is a bit inaccurate, since it was made by many of the same staff. BioShock imported a lot of the game design concepts from System Shock 2 (the name itself not being the least of its similarities). You use a wrench as a melee weapon in SS2, you use upgrade stations and acquired resources to tool up your guy with special powers, etc. If you ever play SS2 you'll see the similarities to BioShock immediately.
Just do some reaserch/reading online on what would be a suitable rig for your needs/wants. You don't need to be technical for that. Just see what people recomment, pro/cons of different systems etc.
wow.. i wish i were a technical person with computers.. or at least knew somebody to help me.. i would be enjoying a lot of cheaper games than consoles and better graphics.. Not to mention mods..i love mods.... sigh..
Graphics AND gameplay were state-of-the-art at the time. The game was a complex one, not really good for some weekend 10-minutes-a-day average gamer, unlike nowadays games: playable by people from 3-93 years old.
And the soundtrack was very cool and inspiring back then. It was in the era of Doom and Dark forces, for comparison. Extraordinary game. thanks for the video!!!!!
This game, I believe, belongs the the golden age of gaming. It should sit up there next to the original Dungeon Master. Just don't see games with the same kind of engrossing/haunting feeling anymore. Kudos to the vid!
@netwalker72 u are too full of shit they are better graphics options and gameplay marketing HAS always been apart of business now go kill yourself fag hell system shock was marketed asshat
@deltapunk21 Fuck yourself, damn cocksucker, never than NOW, the video games industry stink badly of money. The originality goes away trough the shitty ass of your mom, and was replaced by shiny products, strictly made to blind fags like you.
@reberto I only play sophisticated PC games (which means I play mostly pre 2003 PC titles!). Because recent PC titles have been dumbed down tremendously since the gaming market went 'multiformat' and the vast majority of PC titles have become console conversions. For PC only check out King Arthur the Roleplaying Wargame and/or Space Rangers 2 and see challenging original gameplay that you won't find on console!
i never played this (i'm working on playing through the sequel for the first time...love that game.) but it looks just like doom graphics-wise. that was a fun game.
I definately need to play this. I'll take a good old school game over a great next gen game any day. (i remember playing sim city 1 lmao)

Yes indeed.
It was capable of creating a real 3d bridge.
Meaning that you could walk below a surface that wasn't a part of the level roof but had its own top and downside , free floating in the level.
A basic thing the Doom engine or any other engine was not able to render at that time.
Id Software first achieved this with the Quake 1 engine two years after the release of System Shock. ;-)

This game, I believe, belongs the the golden age of gaming. It should sit up there next to the original Dungeon Master. Just don't see games with the same kind of engrossing/haunting feeling anymore. Kudos to the vid!

@deltapunk21 Fuck yourself, damn cocksucker, never than NOW, the video games industry stink badly of money. The originality goes away trough the shitty ass of your mom, and was replaced by shiny products, strictly made to blind fags like you.

@reberto I only play sophisticated PC games (which means I play mostly pre 2003 PC titles!). Because recent PC titles have been dumbed down tremendously since the gaming market went 'multiformat' and the vast majority of PC titles have become console conversions. For PC only check out King Arthur the Roleplaying Wargame and/or Space Rangers 2 and see challenging original gameplay that you won't find on console!

I played this after Doom. Was fun. funfunfufn..
Depth. Descent was 'new' stuff too.
But Doom beats them all. With only it's soundtrack!

i never played this (i'm working on playing through the sequel for the first time...love that game.) but it looks just like doom graphics-wise. that was a fun game.
I definately need to play this. I'll take a good old school game over a great next gen game any day. (i remember playing sim city 1 lmao)

The sad thing is, everyone was too busy playing Doom II than this. :[
Which is a shame, seeing how System Shock is an awesome gaming experience.
