![]() Nah, this is much better than Dosbox as it has an internal compatibility layer, so no lag at all.And if you do happen to have the original, it runs flawlessly in DOSBox.And if you can't play it the normal way (because of the black screen) you may try the DOSBox executable that is included with the package (you may need to launch it several times to play). Also copies are like platinum-coated gold dust (actually, that's true of both titles). However hard it is to get the 1999 SS 2 that ran on Windows 98 to run on modern machines, it is even harder to get the 1994 original that ran on MS-DOS to run.On top of that, the streamlined FPS-oriented controls made it more approachable to the layperson, meaning those that picked it up were more likely to stick with it. Horrible truth, but: 2 had a better publisher, better distribution, better box art, the list goes on. ![]() A mouselook mod (also included in the version linked below) does wonders, though. Many functions that today are performed just moving the mouse were reserved to a lot of a keys or on-screen interface elements. Configurable and not clunky? Definitely not. It does take some getting used to, but it's not that hard, and it's well worth the effort. Apart from turning and moving in all directions, you could look up and down, lean left and right, and stand, crouch or go prone, all while simultaneously using your mouse to aim at and interact with any part of the screen. You had more degrees of freedom in System Shock than in other FPSes of the time. ![]() How come nobody remembers SShock? It had a better atmosphere, enemy design, story, and was more cyberpunk so whats the deal with that?. ![]()
