“SORRY. NO BONUS.” said the video fame display sceen.
Mac version of this game is utterly DOA.
Great remake of X-COM! Sadly, it's in 32-bit format, and therefore it will not work unless its developers bother upgrading it to 64-bit version. Please do so, for maximum stars rating.
MacOS version of the game won't install anymore as of 2025. It's rendered obsolete due to its 32-bit format. PC version has been updated to 64-bit format, and is sold separately under new SKU/article nr. Any chances of updating my MacOS purchase?
I see strong influence taken from french maker of PC/Amiga Gobliins game.
Allahu Al-Akhbar! Mac version supports PC's SS2 TOOL.exe, so you can get and use hi-res textures and object meshes within the game on Mac! Mr. Burns would say: Eeeeeeexcellent! Application procedure of the tool is viewable here: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/ss2tool_for_system_shock_2_mac
Are joypads supported with this game under Win7? If yes, I will add extra star to its ratings.
I have been looking for a playable version for MANY MANY MANY years, as the DOSbox version simply sucks, WinXP port features only 4 levels, and original Amiga version is too inconveniently hard to get properly emulated. This game features ability to lock in the direction of shooting (sort of a Robotron-like, 8-way ability to shoot one way while moving), a feature that eluded me in on my A500 in my youth. VERY useful feature, as it actually makes it possible to win this game (my best is 6th level on A500 with 1-button mammoth joystick the size of a small masturbator :). This game features one of the creepiest, alien-esquiest style of music ever made for a video-game - that one of NONE! Yes, there is no music, just a omnipresent low level hum of climatization systems. Add the prerequisite sound effects, for instance of elsewhere opening doors (never good), and this low-level hum perfectly conveys the sense of utter helplessness and despair in the open space, where nobody can hear your creams.

Now this is a game I was waiting for, ever since it turned a rather sour experience being emulated under DOSbox. Really great game, but with silly keyboard controls, I hope they fixed them in this variation of this game. A gamepad support would be excellent, as this game's controlls are pretty much like the early Resident Evil / Biohazard games, albeit this one with a battle-tank-sized armament :-) This game's isometrical POV can sometimes represent a challenge, as some narrow walking paths and elevator platforms may became blocked by the given view. But still... asci-fi version of the GTA from pre-3D times.
