Shocking!

Now I know what all that bad Karma stuff on Friday was about! It was so my "good karma" was enough to get a special treat I found sitting in my inbox when I got home.

Ladies and Gentlemen, DOSBox 0.70

Now capable of running System Shock perfectly. Yes you heard me, Perfectly.

Not at 5 FPS, rock solid, beautiful, fast, VGA. (VGA May not sound impressive, but this game came out before DOOM1)

Oh and full sound.

"L. L. Look at you Hacker..."

(if you have never played System Shock 1, fire up DOSBox and give it a go! Arguably the first "sneak em up" and still one of the best story lines. There is just so much gameplay in here. Make sure you get the CD version as it has SHODAN's voice. SHODAN is a scary bitch!)

One of my favourite games ever, but I think I recall that SS was released by Origin after Doom had hit. I used Shodans voice sample in many Bio Mekanik and Heratech tracks...only one other person spotted them, I even wrote to Origin and got permission to use the Look at you Hacker sample.

The other alternative would be FreeDOS (http://www.freedos.org/). It's definitely a mature project now and includes a LiveCD ISO.
