In System Shock, biological engineering and automation
merge in a raging storm completely out of human control.
An indentured hacker, you awake from a healing coma on
board the space station Citadel only to find yourself in
the twisted aftermath of a mutiny. The crew has been
mutated beyond recognition to serve SHODAN, a ruthless
computer that controls station operations. With your neural
implant, you can 'jack' into cyberspace (SHODAN's realm)
to steal clues to the mystery. Creeping past armies of
cyborgs and robots, you find hardware that grafts to your
power suit and neural apparatus, including infrared cyber-
eyes, jump-jet boots and an arsenal of weapons. Multi-
function displays pump information to the screen, describing artifacts, warning of biohazards and radiation, analyzing targeted foes, and decrypting cyberspace messages.
Shaking from adrenaline and information overload, you
scarcely have time to think before SHODAN unleashes yet
another terror. There's no time to rest when your foe
doesn't sleep…
