Poll: Who played through the original System Shock?

[CoffeeGuru]

I know that System Shock 2 is acclaimed to be one of the greatest games of all time, and I don't disagree. For all its glory and muster, I wondered how many people around The Escapist have had the opportunity to play the original.

I never played the original. Pretty hard to find it on sale too...

Edit:I remenber hearing a joke about it "The best game ever was released in 1994...but everyone was to busy shooting each other in Doom 2."

Never played it; but boy do I want to. That, and System Shock 2, which is currently the #1 most desired game on Good Old Games!

I've played through System Shock 1 & 2, as well as Bioshock. I'm a huge fan of the series, and despite what many System Shock fans have said, I thought Bioshock was just as good as the System Shock games, provided you play it on the hard difficulty.

Played the original system shock quite a bit - It was very good, a lot less combat oriented than SS2 (which was in turn a lot less combat oriented than bioshock). SS2 I have completed a couple of times on single player, and completed / almost completed it about 4 times multiplayer. I wish there were more games that lent themselves so well to coop play.

Bioshock wasnt bad, but it was a far simpler game than SS1 or 2. I had expected more from it.

I played the original but never SS2.

I never played the first one, though I did play the second game.
