The original System Shock is old enough that it could stroll up to a bar and ask for an amaretto sour and not get nervous when the bartender asks for an ID. That means there are far too many people who don’t know how much they should love SHODAN, for she is easily one of the greatest villains in video games, horror or otherwise.
Thankfully, the fine folks at Night Dive are here to educate the poor souls who haven’t experienced the joy of SHODAN’s insults with an “enhanced edition” of the first System Shock that comes with higher resolution display options — up to 1024×768, or 854×480 if you prefer widescreen — Mouselook support, customizable controls and a few less bugs. I’d say it only barely qualifies as a remaster, but for $7.99, this is easy to recommend, especially for first-timers.
