(2nd) Best PC game of the 1990's!
If I had to pick 5 or 6 games to spend the rest of my life with, System Shock and it's sequel, which is my favourite game of all time would probably be my first choices. System Shock 2 might be one of the best games ever made, however, System Shock 1 is where it all began. Warren Spector's superb design shines through incredibly well here, and the game still looks incredibly charming even today. The game feels very fleshed out for such an early FPS/cRPG hybrid. If you've ever played System Shock 2, then you should feel right at home. Many of the people who worked on SS1 also worked on SS2, so it's not entirely surprising, but they do feel different enough from eachother as to not get too boring. The game is impossibly difficult, and honestly one of the hardest games I've ever owned (to the point where I have never completed it on it's regular difficulty) however the game allows you to crank down (or up) the difficulty entirely to the point where it's either a simple adventure-like game or a sprawling, puzzle filled near impossible reflex test. The entire game feels extremely well cooked for such an 'old' game and makes other FPS's of the time like Doom and Quake look like simple, baby games. However, the game is certainly not for everyone, to people who grew up with FPS's like the ones listed above or have only played games from the past decade or so, the game will just come off as being an awful, over complicated, abhorrent mess with a UI from hell. But that's looking at it in the wrong way. You have to put yourself in a 1994 mindset and forget what you think an FPS is. It's more of an RPG than an FPS, featuring upgrades, puzzle solving, loot collecting etc. which is really no surprise as the team that made the original Ultima Underworld also made this. This game is the definition of a cult classic, just like it's sequel, and also the definition of a flawed masterpiece, which is fine. If you've never played it, I'd highly recommend this game to anyone. 10/10 game
