Look at you, Hacker.

A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors.

How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

wtf is all of this... I don't get any of it.
I've lurked for many years, and I've never seen anything involving this, so an explanation would be nice. and a "LURK MOAR" would be useless

Did you even bother to google "Shodan"? Evil AI antagonist from the System Shock games.

By the way, System Shock 2 was one of the most atmospheric games I've ever played, though infuriatingly difficult with the weapons degrading, scarce ammo, etc. Is it worth my time to track down and play the first one?

as a SS2 fan, I tried System Shock 1 for several hours but it was just Way Too Old for me. Ugly graphics, horrendeously oldschool level design (read: you get lost and bored very often). I imagine it was good for its day though, but you're probably better off waiting for the upcoming "spiritual successor", Bioshock.

Additionally I didn't find sysshock 2 all _that_ hard, but I knew to concentrate on just a few core skills (in my case, weapons with a little bit of hacking) rather than become a jack of all trades, where the "master of none" aspect most likely makes the game mega-hard later.

There are 2 major hurdles for a modern gamer to overcom to truley get into SS1.
1)The sprite based engine.
2)The interface.

The game tends to leave the player lost, confused, low on amo and with a hord of bad guys
between you and your goal (if you can figure out what the goal is). I dont know, I love SS2 but SS1 just seemed more grim the situations seemed hopeles. It's a great game but truith be told it needs a makeover, badly! Ide love to see this remade for a modern engine but thats just me and its probly too old of a game for anyone to give a dam about.

I played SS1 about a year ago and I loved it. For a 3D game without mouselook the control scheme was really good. Everything was so old it was... refreshing.

And I appreciated SS2's story a lot more after having actually played SS1.

I got System Shock 2 the moment it was released. Such a fucking great game. There were moments I was afraid to move, I just found a safe place and stayed there for a while.

God damn the spiders and the psychokinetic monkeys and the poisonous worms and the swarms of flies.

i played SS1 a year or so ago and loved it to bits. sure there were times when i went insane trying to figure out where to go, but in the end i wasnt able to beat shodan, due to the extreme difficulty of the stupid vr parts. so yeah i started it again with vr on easy, but got bored and gave up. id love to try and finish it again, but i dont think itll happen lol
