Wraith: Well, my biggest request for GOG (next to System Shock 1 and 2 anyways) finally gets answered :)
Will be buying it tomorrow, for certain.

Both of those were excellent games. System Shock 2 scared the bejesus out of me, lol. Remember this:
:Alone in the hallway, nobody else around. Everything is quiet. And then from out nowhere....... SILENCE THE DISCORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you get whacked over the head by a mutant with a lead pipe.
This is especially creepy if it happens to be 3 in the morning, all the lights are off and you have your headphones right in your ears. I always use headphones rather than speakers. It does lot to improve atmosphere and immersion in the game itself and it especially effective with horror games like System Shock 2
I can't remember any of them off the top of my head, but I seem to remember thinking that some of the things that the Cyborg Midwives said were pretty damn creepy as well. Not so much what they said, but just the way they speak. They had kind of a creepy, metallic edge to their voices. I still remember getting a chill when I picked up the audio diary where the head nurse was talking about how the head doctor sent word for her to send like 10 of her nurses to him and she did, and then none of them came back. Pretty scary stuff. Brrrrrrr
EDIT- found the Cyborg Midwife quotes on WikiQuote. Here there are:
* "Little Ones need lots of meat to grow big and strong"
* "I'll tear out your spine."
* "Step away from the children!"
* "You're missing all the fun."
* "They grow up so fast."
* "Babies need meat."
* "It's my job to worry."
* "It won't be back"
* "I have your medication"
* "I can smell you"
* "Oh Yes. Come here."
