Mr_Putter Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Introduction The birth of the modern FPS is usually attributed to Doom, or to a lesser extent Wolfenstein 3D. Other First-Person Shooters at the time were labeled ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅDoom ClonesÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâà Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLancer Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This game reminds me a lot of the dos-based Wolfenstein I played as a kid, except with improved level design. Downloading it now :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Can't beat that price :) I have to admit, I had heard this not. Will give it a download and experience the original FPS ^_^ This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Good post mate. :P I played a bit out of system shock 2 (demo) but never got a chance to play through it. I'll have to check out the first of course. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart_0 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 :? Dunno if its just me, but i downloaded the patch files for my version (on windows 98), and its still not working. I get to the screen in the dos window which tells you that you can run the game and such, but i cant do anything. There is some sort of infinite loop running that wont allow me to input numbers.

indy500fan Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I absolutely loved Deus Ex, and I've heard of this game before, but I didn't realize it was abandonware. Otherwise I would have already been playing it :D . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nine naked men Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 System Shock 2 was awesome. It was the only one I played. I might download number 1 when I have the chance. Man, that was an creepy game. It had a great atmosphere, I wonder if anyone's thinking of redoing it with better graphics, or putting out a sequel. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Putter Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 ^ Someone made this mod called System Shock: Rebirth. It upgrades the most of the major models in SS2. I found out about this after I played it and went on a forum to complain that the character models were terrible. So I haven't actually used this, but based on screenshots I've seen it looks significantly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromagus Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I have a version of System Shock 2 that's a single 400+ MB file that contains the entire game, including some of the most popular patches and mods. It runs perfectly on Windows XP.

jjrox32 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I'm definitely planning on going through both System Shock games after I complete all the half life games. After watching the Zero Punctuation review of Bioshock, I basically learned that SS2 is a better version of Bioshock. And Bioshock kicked [wagon].
