I hate this and find it scary because explodey droids always come looking for you through these doors, and as soon as the door opens it's basically too late for you, haha. There's this place where you are surrounded by four doors, I THINK it's the one in the cargo bay area. The game comes with the original manuals, a full soundtrack, concept artwork, maps, radio interviews with developer Ken Levine, and even the original pitch document used to sell the game's concept.- Hell corridor is that maze full of radiation and wrench mutants that chase you around, right? Godawful terrifying, especially at the first time and with that fast Drum n Bass music lol GOG.com is offering the game for $9.99-a price which gets you not only System Shock 2 repackaged to work correctly with modern Windows operating systems and computers (the game in its original form has issues running on computers with multicore CPUs), but also a set of excellent extras. Now, though, all of the rights have been gathered together again and entrusted to GOG.com, a site which has proven to be an excellent steward of the classic games of days gone by.
Even making a sequel proved impossible, prompting Looking Glass alum Ken Levine to instead create BioShock, a game sharing many of System Shock 2's gameplay characteristics but none of the intellectual property. No single entity held all of the legal pieces necessary to package and publish the game. RockPaperShotgun has published the story of the multiyear battle waged to secure all of the rights necessary to digitally distribute the game, and it's an amazing read.ĭevelopment house Looking Glass Studios dissolved barely a year after System Shock 2's debut, and after the dissolution, the rights to the "System Shock" name and the trademarks ended up with different companies-including, oddly enough, an insurance company. After years of limbo, however, GOG.com (formerly known as "Good Old Games") has begun offering the game for sale. Unfortunately, it has been almost impossible to legally acquire the game for a number of years.
