Hell yeah, System Shock rocking out with the absolutely worst soundtrack imaginable. I love it.

Hey, I love System Shock, it provided the DNA for some of my favourite games ever, but some of the tracks are just... oh dear God they are just what they are.

I also love how the BERSERKER PACK makes the game look like Cruelty Squad.

I think my biggest surprise is you actually listening to SHODAN when she tells you to piss off and stay away from her high security areas. I feel like that would generally attract me to it when the game's villain tells me to stay away. :v:

Wasn't Doom supposed to be an RPG? Or am I thinking of Quake? And then Daikatana became what John Romera always wanted to make, and Quake II became what John Carmack wanted to make, and they were both poo poo because they both needed someone to balance out the other's ego-trips?

System Shock was Warren Spector, right?

I think you're thinking of Quake, yeah, it was originally supposed to be a fantasy RPG of some sort.

System Shock was absolutely Warren Spector. In that period, any RPG or FPS/RPG that made some sort of coherent statement about capitalism or politics usually had Spector on board.

Rojo vs the Orb.

Some of the enemies in this get really abstract.

This level design is so spaghettified, just a big ol' pile of noodly corridors.
