Editorial Review:
You're a renowned hacker, the most notorious cyberspace thief in the corporate world. Caught during a risky break-in, you become indentured to Diego, a greedy trioptimum exec who bankrolls a rare cyberjack implant operation. After six-months in a healing coma, you awaken to the twisted aftermath of a terrible disaster. Where are the surgeons? Why is the station in such disrepair? Slowly, the very chilling realization that something is very wrong creeps over you. Once a prime corporate research facility, Citadel now teams with mindless cyborgs, robots and terribly mutated beings, all programmed to serve SHODAN, a ruthless artificial intelligence. There's scarcely time to think before it unleashes the first terror......

- Tthe best adventure/RPG/FPS's of the 90's!
This is a fantastic game! You have to get the CD version because the dgitized speech and the 640x480 make all the difference in the world! In fact it is still so popular you can get it running in XP at 1024x768 (!) by going to this site and following the instructions after you buy the game! (If your PC cannot handle 1024x768 you can use the 800x600 file instead!)

- The best game EVER created!
If I could break the rules and rate this game 6 stars here on Amazon, I would not hesitate. This game is a true gem of gaming. System Shock is one of those rare games that just nails everything. It is one of those games that, after you finish it, you are left with wondering what game could possibly have topped that experience.

Had I played this game when it first debuted, it would have easily consumed and horrified me, equally. Even to this day, emersing yourself into this game can scare ... Read More

- It is indeed a classic.
I'm sure by now most of these are the CD rom versions - Only the CD rom versions had the "high-res" (640 x 480) graphics and the "talkie" feature. The 9-disk 3.5" floppy set that I originally purchased years ago had neither of these features (limited to 320 x 240 screen resolution) and I was a bit angry, as I paid $55 for the floppy version, having no idea that the much-improved CD version would be released just a couple months later. Need less to say, I am no longer angry, as I now own both versions, and would ... Read More

- The beginning , and still the best.
I cannot even explain how much this game affected me. I was a gamer for 5 years or so before this came out in 1994. The instant i installed it, i was drawn in. And, i have never looked back. The plot, incredible. The graphics , 3 years AHEAD of its' time! The graphics now look dated, but the game will always be great. This was an early 'Looking Glass' game! Those guys went on to do THIEF! If you've never heard of System Shock before, go on this... There has never been a more powerful team than 'Looking Glass','Origin', ... Read More
