DCT: really? it seems to me it finally stopped or at the very least slowed to a crawl as it's slipped down to second place on the front page and it's been sitting below Divine Divinity on the "overall sales chart" for a few days now. Still jumping from the bottom all the way up to where it is now in the first two weeks of release and without being on sale once is impressive for a new release.

GameRager: I think another GOGger said that DD sold a buttload of copies, so SS2 may very well be selling up until this very moment, but we couldn't tell without live/semi-live sales numbers and/or when it bypasses another title on the game listings. :\
Totally forgot about the pay what you want Divinity sale
Now I see creatures village on top of bestseller list. the faq?

The list occasionally goes wonky for me. Try a hard-refresh or exit and come back.
In fact it's just made it past not only Divine Divinity, but also the mighty Master of Magic (although looking at the titles, it's probably fair to label everything "the mighty" at this point in the proceedings :)
Well, good as "Legend of Grimrock" is, I'm pleased to see SS2 move past the newer game at last (now into position 28). With the exceptions of the two "Witcher" games (which are unsurprisingly near the top of the list), there are nothing but genuine old classics above SS2 now! (Some people might question Fallout Tactics, I suppose, but that's next on the hit list in any case :)

I see that the weekend strategy sale has knocked it from the top of the Current Best Seller list. It looks like it's time for "King of Dragon Pass" to advance up the list some more (KODP was the last game for which I paid attention to the rankings like this, as it had a really excellent run for such a little-known title).
I see that SS2 has finally made it past Duke Nukem 3D. I took a look at the end of the summer sale to see if that had happened, but Duke still had the advantage, so it's obviously just tipped over sometime in the past several days.

That makes it the best-selling first-person game on GOG! (with the sole exception of Freespace 2, which is a pretty different genre of game).

Yup still stuck behind Sim City 2000 in 23rd place....
I like to know why the first System Shock can't be here?

Also does that game control exactly like Ultima Underworld?

Cause it was published by Origin Systems I guess.

Same engine as UU2, but modified. You can lean right and left, look up and down, crouch and crawl. Plus it was fully 3D (not just that fake 2.5D of Doom). In 1994 System Shock was was like the Enterprise appearing from warp-space when everyone else was still using old shuttle rockets.
