L-look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and sweating as you search for your wallet. How fast can you purchase a perfect, immortal game?




<span class="bold">System Shock</span>, the breakthrough FPS/RPG hybrid - one of the most influential video games ever produced - is back and enhanced, premiering DRM-free on GOG.com. Get 20% off the title, or 40% off if you already own System Shock 2.


On release, System Shock forever changed the face of action gaming - it ushered an era of storytelling, choices, and RPG elements unlike ever before - directly influencing all-time classics like Deus Ex and Bioshock.
Today, the legend returns in better shape than ever.

System Shock: Enhanced Edition now comes with official support for resolutions up to 1024x768 (compared to the original 640x480), and a native 854x480 widescreen mode. Gameplay is streamlined with a toggleable mouselook mode, including more intuitive inventory and item management. Combined with assorted bug-fixes and remappable controls, System Shock is now truly enhanced. Still, some gaming experiences are truly worth preserving, so you can also return to the authentic 90's gameplay with System Shock: Classic - ready for modern systems, completely unaltered in all other aspects, and available in both the CD and Floppy editions!



See the System Shock Enhanced Edition trailer:

Well, what a nice morning surprise! :D
Great job, GOG. Specially with the added discount for those of us who own System Shock 2. Thank you.
Wow, I like morning releases :o) I won't buy it though as I played this game too much back in the days, feel like yesterday....

Anyway, I'm surely gonna be there for the twitch stream, it should be interesting ^o^
What a hell of a surprise : D
THANK YOU
Omg. Everyone's going to flip out now.
Holy cow! Best news ever!!!

Love you - love you GOG!!! ;)))

P.S. Must buy today
I remember quite a number of GoGer are clamoring about System Shock.

So any good things I should know about it to overcome its age?
-.- Too early, wake me up at later...
System Shock 1!
Any info on what this "enhanced edition" is? If it's just the original DOS version with the System Shock Portable patch slapped on it would be really pathetic:

I tried it once, but because it was still running in DOSBox the higher resolutions had unplayably bad performance (DOSBox is an emulator, so everything is more expensive).
Very awesome, GOG! Quite the SHOCK! You still are "Good Old Games" frequently! Nice grab with enhancements (not a remaster bastardization)that are worthwhile and not game-changing. Well-done! OMF: 2097 is the next oldie like this I'd like to see, please!

The Enhanced Edition gets rid of a lot of the 90's clunkiness regarding the UI so it's like a brand new game now :)

In any case, the first System Shock has tons of secret doors so it would behoove you to look for them like you would in an old-school shooter, read the logs for clues, and check your mini-map :)


Also, watch out for berserk patches :)
Thank you for surprise :)
