I had already tried to play it a long time ago but I got frustrated in the second level. This time the same thing happened, so I've started a new game at low difficulty to see if I can enjoy the story.
I'm curious about the sequel, I can't find it for sale in GOG or Steam, only in Amazon Marketplace and overpriced. Anyone has any other link?
I think I'll add the info about the separate executables to the review, because I've been playing the floppy version for a long time before I realized. LOL
The intro is the coolest, my favorite of all time. Also the corporate policemen in it are very similar to the ones in Crusader No Regret (which came up a year later). |
You won't find System Shock 2 unless you're really lucky. It has been in re-release limbo for a very long time. The IP is hanging somewhere in the afterlife, not fully owned by EA so GoG couldn't get it yet. There was some article describing it, but can't remember the URL right now.
