Description



System Shock: Enhanced Edition also includes the classic 32-bit version of the game.

You're a renowned hacker, the most notorious cyberspace thief in the corporate world. Caught during a risky break-in, you become indentured to Diego, a greedy Trioptium exec who bankrolls a rare cyberjack implant operation. After six months in a healing coma, you awaken to the twisted aftermath of a terrible disaster. Where are the surgeons? Why is the station in such disrepair? Slowly, the chilling realization that something is very wrong creeps over you.
Once a prime corporate research facility, Citadel now teems with mindless cyborgs, robots and terribly mutated beings, all programmed to serve SHODAN, a ruthless A.I. There's scarcely time to think before it unleashes the first terror...

Exactly twenty one years after its first release, System Shock is back!
The Enhanced Edition adds a modern touch to this true classic gem, without taking anything from its unmistakable atmosphere.
See for yourself that the game that has been called the benchmark for intelligent first-person gaming, has lost nothing of its ability to keep you on the edge of your seat.

System Shock: Enhanced Edition features:
- Higher resolution support: up to 1024x768, and 854x480 widescreen mode.
- Mouselook support added.
- Remappable keys with three profiles to choose from: original controls, custom controls, and lefthanded controls.
- Some original game bugs fixed.
  • Rocket through cyberspace to steal information, hack security and grapple with watchdog defense programs enslaved to a maniacal computer.
  • Survive battle after battle against armies of killer cyborgs and deadly robots as you collect hardware attachments, life-sustaining patches and deadly weapons to combat mindless mutants.
  • Test your intelligence by solving puzzles, rewiring access panels and outwitting SHODAN in its own cyber-realm.
  • Enjoy the vastly improved controls and graphics of the Enhanced Edition - or keep your experience as close to the original as possible with the Classic version.

Pretty good game, but unplayable for me.

This is a really good game so far, but I have played it for about two and a half hours and a glitch has made it pretty much unplayable. There is a horizontal line that goes across the screen and it freezes whatever it passes onto the screen until it passes again around fourty five seconds later and i havent been able to find anyone else online who has experianced this glitch so i am in the dark trying to figure out how to fix it. But other than that it is a very good game but unfortuneatly my first playthrough has been cut short.

Game is good, but...

I played them. Iconic and true classics. Art even. But with the ruthless and outright malevolent liscensing, the fact that i would give my money to some dirtbag company that goes diametral to what System Shock means in its core. Dear Hacker. You have always found a way around obstacles. Use your wits, and vote with your wallet by not buying it. There are more sources than one.

GREAT GAME w/ GREAT ADDITIONS

I played the original and it was fun. But with the additions GOG did, makes it a better game. Great game, a good one to start off a series, and this is a VERY underrated game. A game (this game and SS2) that needs to be remade or just give it an HD polish, and nothing gets changed; and make it a PC only game. Take that console exclusives.

it was ok for it's time

it is really hard to give this game an honest review after having played System Shock2(an awesome game) because it's sequel is better in every aspect. i find the controls here clunky and the game pace too slow. i remember being more forgiving of it's flaws back in the day when first playing it but after you play a gem like System Shock2 it's really hard to go back and enjoy this one. you might like it? i would wait until GOG has one of it's sales and pick it up if it's less than a dollar or so, that way if you don't like the game then you are only out less than a buck or so.
