🕹️ New release: Lunar Lander Beyond

System Shock

aka: Alien Commander
Moby ID: 681

DOS version

Killer A.I, LITERALLY!

The Good
The A.I, SHODAN seems to be reading your mind, like if you go to blow something up, after picking up some plastique or stuff, it was all quiet before you left, but then when you go to blow it up, SHODAN send you a little e-mail, with an attachment you probably won't survive.

The weapons, the Railgun especially, (who doesn't like the Railgun? Quake fans love it!), and then there's the physics engine, another "before its time" thing, you can push stuff around, you can blow stuff up causing a chain reaction.

The Bad
The reactor destruct code is randomly selected everytime you start a new game. I mean, c'mon stick to STANDARDS people.

The Bottom Line
If SHODAN suddenly appears on your screen after playing System Shock...be very afraid. Heh heh
