In System Shock, biological engineering and automation merge in a raging storm
completely
out of human control. An indentured hacker, you awake from a
healing coma on board the space station Citadel
only to find yourself in the twisted aftermath of a mutiny.The crew has been mutated
beyond recognition to serve SHODAN, a ruthless computer that controls station operations.
With your neural implant, you can "jack" into cyberspace (SHODAN's realm) to steal clues to
the mystery.
Creeping past armies of cyborgs and robots, you find hardware that grafts to your power
suit and neural apparatus, including infrared cyber-eyes, jump-jet boots and an arsenal of weapons. Multi-function displays pump information to
the screen, describing
artifacts, warning of biohazards and radiation,
analyzing targeted foes, and decrypting cyberspace messages.
Shaking from
adrenalin and information overload, you scarcely have time to think before
SHODAN unleashes yet
another terror. There's no time to rest when your foe
doesn't sleep...
