Gotta upvote SS2, one of my favorite games of all time. He mentions setting up the controls... I enjoy setting up, optimizing, and perfecting my keyboard and mouse bindings for a deep FPS almost as much as I enjoy agonizing over every skill point when creating my character for an old school RPG.

FYI, GOG has this classic game on sale.

Payback's guide to SS2:

Walk... walk... sneak... spin around... walk... walk... spin around... walk...
Stop... try to hack door...
"KIILLL MEEE!!!!" screams from speakers then an attack from behind...
Empty entire clip into him... screaming...
Press pause.
Change underwear.
Unpause.

How could anyone dislike SS2? It's as much a classic as any Beatles Tune. I really need to replay this gem.

I'M SORRRRYYYY!!!

The audio in this game was amazing. Honestly, I played it the right way (imo) in a dark room at night, alone, and there were times I had to quit because it was just too much. Definitely in my top 20 of all time.

Was talking to the Siftbot thing.

And yes, I like Steam and all, but I recommend getting it from www.gog.com if you haven't purchased it yet. Support DRM free gaming.

A little SS2 trvia - Bioshock's level design aesthetics is loosely based around one of the levels in SS2.

I hate those monkeys!

One time I was in the big rooms with boxes. One of those droid bots scared the crap out of me after midnight PT and I litterally threw my PS/2 ball mouse up into the air. It was that scary!

Which one? Any videos/screen shots? I didn't like BioShock series. I want SS3!

Did anyone play SS1? I couldn't get into it. SS2 rocked though. Has anyone tried co-op online in SS2?

I played and finished System Shock 1. I can see that being very difficult to get into if you didn't play it when it first came out. It was one of the first full on 3D games, and that was the big appeal. The way they tie it into the second game is brilliant.

I remember scoffing at all my friends who were into Doom at the time (you can't even look up and down! pfft).. that is until I went over to one of their houses and played my first deathmatch over a LAN.

As for the level, (very very mild spoiler here) one of the decks on the ship is an entertainment / lounge deck. That's the one.

Dead Space is a pretty decent SS3 filler. I had a friend at EA who claimed the designers originally pitched it as a System Shock 3 (not in a literal sense).

Same playing of it style for me.

Scariest moment for me is I had played the SS2 demo over and over in anticipation.. well the demo is the very beginning of the game, but they had completely left out any of the "Ghosts".. So there I am running through the beginning on cruise control when one of those F'ers shows up, and it's right before the point where the demo ends.... oi.

One of the few times in my life (maybe the only?) where I jumped hard enough to nearly fall out of my chair.

The game has a way of slowly working up the tension to the point that your nerves are on complete edge.

Also the only game to give me a true nightmare.

That first ghost, man I wasted some ammo on that thing.
