System Shock: Enhanced Edition Launches, 21 Years Since Original
Today marks the 21st anniversary of Looking Glass Studios' System Shock, published by Origin Systems. What better way to celebrate this iconic series than to re-release with an Enhanced Edition that's DRM-free?
It's now available from GOG.com with all the support necessary to support the super-future systems of Windows 7, 8 and 10. The original was launched on DOS on September 22nd, 1994 and today it's an all-digital affair. It's currently enjoying a 20% discount at £5.29.
The Enhanced Edition includes:
- Higher resolution support: up to 1024x768, and 854x480 widescreen mode.
- Mouselook support added.
- Remappable keys with three profiles to choose from: original controls, custom controls, and lefthanded controls.
- Some original game bugs fixed
- Enjoy the vastly improved controls and graphics of the Enhanced Edition - or keep your experience as close to the original as possible with the Classic version.
System Shock: Enhanced Edition is thanks to developer Night Dive Studios, who reworked System Shock 2.
