Why ‘System Shock’ was the best shooter of the ’90s

1994’s System Shock has just gotten a long-overdue remake, and it’s already topping best-seller charts. The thrilling story of a lone hacker and a deranged artificial intelligence trying to outwit each other aboard a crumbling space station is being introduced to a whole new generation of gamers – many of whom may want to go back and check out the original. While System Shock 2 is well-remembered, the original is sadly often overshadowed by its sequel, despite being in many ways the better game.

Games like 1998’s Half-Life are deservedly remembered as the best FPS games of the decade, but much of Half-Life‘s sense of excitement, action, and spectacle had been captured by System Shock four years earlier.
