Get it, love it! A classic!
Many years ago I bought this game, when PC games in Brazil were few and hard to find. Still have the cd somewhere here (can't say the same about the box) and the official strategy guide, which I got when I went to NY. Almost finished it, got stuck in some part just before the ending. Pity.
Was a good game, even with its (original) old pixelated look, and now with the Enhanced features, System Shock is an awesome game, with great plot twists, devious puzzles, dazzling cyberfights, a few scapes and a great story. The lack of a mouse back then was something that made the game much more difficult, but the Enhanced version gives you the mobility to survive. And trust me, you'll need it.
Shodan's stuttering electronic voice is something that will haunt you now and then (and perhaps when you sleep too). She's the enemy you'll love and love to hate.
It's also the spiritual precursor of the famed Bioshock games, but I'm a nostalgic person, and System Shock will always have a place in my heart.
