This is version 0.6 of SYSTEMSHOCK-Portable, based on the CD enhanced version originally released by Looking Glass Technologies (later Looking Glass Studios). It unpacks to 101MB and can be played under MS Windows XP (not Vista) from an USB-key or external drive or from your local HD. (As discussed on TTLG). SS-P includes the complete English game of System Shock, language packs for French and German can be downloaded below.

I'm grabbing it now, and checking the legality of it to see if we can put it on the DVD.

Man I hope its legal. I've never played SS1 before.

I've already downloaded it! YAAAAAY!

Easy to see why this one was so acclaimed. It's atmospheric, has crisp graphics, and otherwise is really not bad for a game from the early 90's. And it actually lets you look up and down! That is just win. The interface may take getting used to, but it's worth it!

Just switch off the music. :P

Music? There was music? I thought that my sound card was on the blink ;). At least the voice acting makes up for it.
