There’s a lot of love for the Deus Ex series but damn it I wish there was the same amount of love for the System Shock series. What I wouldn’t give for a brand new creepy ass entry in the great hybrid FPS/RPG series. Until people figure out how great it is GOG.com has cleaned up the original and released it as System Shock: Enhanced Edition. No more needing to grab your floppies or find the missing CD-ROM GOG is here and the game has never looked better. GOG clean up the visuals, the text is now very crisp, along with adding in support for those newfangled widescreen resolutions that we just a distant glimmer in some programmers eye when System Shock was released in March of 1994. You can pick up System Shock: Enhanced Edition on GOG.com for $9.99 but grab it before September 29th 2015 and you’ll save 20%.

On release, System Shock forever changed the face of action gaming – it ushered an era of storytelling, choices, and RPG elements – directly influencing all-time classics like Deus Ex and Bioshock. Today, the legend returns in better shape than ever.
“With System Shock: Enhanced Edition, we’re implementing game-changing improvements, including mouselook, widescreen, and a high resolution display mode,” says Stephen Kick, CEO of Night Dive Studios. “The classic game has never been more accessible to a modern audience.”
The re-release supports resolutions up to 1024×768 (compared to the original 640×480), and a native 854×480 widescreen mode. Gameplay was also streamlined with a toggleable mouselook mode, including more intuitive inventory and item management. Combined with assorted bug-fixes and remappable controls, System Shock is now truly enhanced.
Some gaming experiences are truly worth preserving. Gamers can also return to the authentic 90’s gameplay with System Shock: Classic – ready for modern systems, completely unaltered in all other aspects. Both releases are available in a single package, with a 40% discount for all System Shock 2 owners on GOG.com – and 20% off for everyone. The discounted offer will last until Tuesday, September 29, 6:59 AM GMT.
Finally, please join Stephen Kick (Founder and CEO of Night Dive Studios) and Paul
