look at you hacker a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect immortal machine

IvanRzhanoy

The only reason why I found GOG.com is this game. I heard a lot of good things about System Shock and I want to play it as soon as possible before playing system Shock 2.

Never played the first game.. but still ahve Sshock2 cd :> I wanna get this now after I saw Lazy Gamer review it on youtube.

Lazy game reviews plays and shows places from teh game http://youtu.be/AXrlsiPTQS4

I really wish this game to be added in the GOG's current game rooster, but, this game is well known for being absurdely difficult to run on any system, a fact acknowledged even by its very own creators. I myself have tried to run it emulated many times. eventuelly running in to some hard crashes, which required DOSbox to be completely wiped out and reinstalled to a pristine condition. Really really difficult game to emulate, by any means...

DakotaBob

If GOG managed to get the second game released, what is barring them from releasing the first? doesn't that insurance company they made a deal with hold the rights to the first?

FlamingFirewire

Another stage in the war against finding all the rights for a game so that it can be re-released - looks like the original System Shock is next in line. I hope whoever sees the success of SS2 on here and who owns the licenses to the original game realizes that they can make a profit if they only re-released this game to the online market for legal DDL.

DarkJaguar

An odd situation. I still just can't get over the notion that under current copyright law, someone can "own" an idea they had NO part in creating, just because they "bought" the entire "concept of creation" from someone.

Egud

Are rights treaties difficult? The game is older than the second part.

Valdorek

Already finished it. Going again as psionic and in parallel playing with friend in coop. Best investment of 10 bucks this year. Hail to the GOG!

DarkJaguar

I looked into a link someone sent me regarding this "freeware", and unfortunately it doesn't check out. According to that "portable system shock" FAQ, they're just running under the assumption it's okay until someone says otherwise, instead of the assumption that it is not okay until someone says otherwise.

lunaticox

"Kind of" i said, as far as i know, the fan-made portable edition is not illegal.

cgajardo

If you make it available for mac I'll pay anything. And I mean anything

DarkJaguar

Freeware? Do you have an official announcement along those lines? If the game is freeware, I'll get it right now.

lunaticox

Despite the game is kind of freeware today, i would buy it if you can make it run with the original music, the DOSbox emulated version has some problems with this...

DarkJaguar

GOG's current statement that SS2's story can stand on it's own is true. True, but still doesn't take into account the full story being enjoyable too. That said, I don't think GOG is resting on their laurels here. A statement like that is pretty much just PR speak so they don't have to make any promises they may not be able to keep. I'm sure they are attempting to get the rights to the original as well. I only wish I knew who exactly hold the remaining rights so we knew who to letter bomb with pleas.

Noosphyra

Well, I bought SS2 but I wait and get my hand off the start button. It would be logical to play through this amazing story from the beginning. So System Shock ONE is more than needed. And I won't use all of these pirate-fan ports and stuff, I hope GOG looks from time to time on Wish Request Counter...:)

jommy

GOG, I thank you so much for reactivating the fight against Shodan, however I and many others on this site do yearn to travel back even further to the first System Shock. It would be nice to play it safely on a modern system rather than risk downloading a virus infested pirated dud. Many many props to bringing back Thief, unreal, and MDK, seriously. You've made my day, from the bottom of my geeky heart, thank you.

DEMON212

Yeah, really don't see why this isn't already out, surely the same guys own the rights to both SS games? Or are they waiting to see if SS2 sells as much as they'd hoped before bothering to make SS work?

Chaosgamer92

I would like to play the 1st one before I scare myself with System shock 2. It would be great if this and SS2 was reduced in cost together, if you bought them together.

HenitoKisou

We all want to see SHODAN madness origins from perspective of Hacker, aren't we? ;-)

bruce71

Releasing SS2 was a great start, releasing SS1 will be the icing on the cake :)

jjj0309

Come on, GoG. Make this happen!

sipos

> What we'd like is for SS1 to be available legally. Just about everything is available free of charge if you know where to look. :P This is the point that the people owning the IP for System Shock need to understand. They are making nothing from it and they could be making something but, what they could make gets smaller the longer they wait.

DLMyth

I would love this game in my GOG account. This was one of my favorite games for a very long time. Happy we have SS2 so that's a start.

Veav

What we'd like is for SS1 to be available legally. Just about everything is available free of charge if you know where to look. :P

gummibear15987

The rights to SS2 were held by many people, which is why it took so long to re-release. SS1 is and has been available free of charge.http://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=211.0

MitchellTF

I am going to second this. I would like to ask, out of curiousity, if there are reasons why System Shock 1 is not possible.

CO9207

System Shock 2 got released, why not the first one too?

Kuroko

Simply the best cyberpunk game out there! This game really gives you the creeps. Dark, narrow corridors, with lots of horror. I think the visuals are extremely well done here. Textures are well drawn and enemies are based on photographs of real humans and various clay models which are then photoshopped into something else. System Shock 2's primitive 3D can't match the fine 2D art of the first System Shock. It's just that much more alive even today.

EdyJ

SS1 is my all times number one. I clearly remember the depth sensations I experienced while playing it through its ending. In fact, SS2 was a kind of deception for me, given the brilliant plot in SS1 compared with the "forced" and "unclear" plot in SS2. Sorry, won't buy SS2 again (still have it original) but I'd die for having a properly working SS1.

sipos

Now that System Shock 2 is here. Hopefully GoG will have some luck getting System Shock 1 for sale. Personally, I like to play the earlier games in a series first, even if there is no real story leading from the first to second. This would be my number 1 requested game.

Egeto

Just bought System shock 2, waiting for SS1 to be released, and with that piece I think my collection is fullfilled... I would like to know, how much of SS2 will be sold during today, or first days..

OnionPowder

Just bought System Shock 2 and would surely do the same for System Shock 1 if it was released.

MX83

Opps, sry wrong forum (was meant for SS2)

MX83

Always wanted to play but I only started PC gaming years later after release and by then could only find it on Amazon for astronomical prices. Can't wait to play this now! Check out antisocialfatman's review on youtube.

Northeastmonk

I own a boxed version and have had some luck running it on Windows XP. The game is impossible to run on Vista and up. This is fantastic news. Especially with Infinite next month.

scotslaw

Oh dear me, I think I may cry and spend the next 4 days playing this.

zhwen

System Shock 2 is coming very soon. That's great! But if we have System Shock 1 as well, it would be better. System Shock 2 without 1 is like bacon and eggs without bacon.

SanJ922

L-l-l-look at you g-gog, an a- amazing website of games and fun. You can only be enhanced by allowing SHODAN to join your catalog of great titles...

funkadellia

Please get this game!! (:.;ﾟ;Д;ﾟ;.:)

Retrofraction

While it is easy to find a copy, I would like a fixed GOG version to play

ricscar

I would buy it immediately !!!!!

projectoverkill

Might buy it twice. A buy for sure though. I want both.

Cadaver747

Here you can post your "claim" to the IP owners:http://www.meadowbrookinsgrp.com/claims.htmlFrom the G4TV article regarding IP rights: "As Spector had mentioned, an insurance company got the rights to System Shock after Looking Glass Studios shut down. I tracked down the insurer, Star Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Michigan-based Meadowbrook Insurance Group, Inc., and confirmed that the rights are available for sale. George Borkowski, an outside counsel for Meadowbrook, said the company would consider selling the rights to a game publisher or developer. "The idea would be to enter into some kind of arrangement where the game would be developed and that Meadowbrook would be compensated,” he said."

Shodan2013

I agree with dmkgman, also System shock 2, boy was it addictive, (never got to play the first one) :( but definatly get them Both on that would be brilliant

dmkgman

I got the CD version of System Shock when it first came out; it was genuinely amazing. I still have clear memories of crouching in a dark room, hearing ominous noises from nearby, while listening to the audio-log of one of the stations former inhabitants, listening to their final moments...it was truly haunting. I loved the sense of freedom you had while playing the game, as well as the excellent upgrade system which (while I also love System shock 2) was far superior to that found in SS2. All in all, it remains a truly unique game. It is a pity that the so many games developers have given up on being adventurous and fallen prey to the "more of the same" mentality that currently dominates.

Krotow

Will be nice. In future: how about System Shock remake on decent game engine with decent graphics and sound ?:)
