It was supposed that I wake up on the Rickenbacker, but now I woke up on the Von Braun? Looks like the responsible administrative section made a mistake? As an broken antenna crushed into the glass separating me from the hollow space, I got introduced by this Janice Polito to hurry before the glass breaks and I get sucked into space. Why donвЂ™t you listen to this music tune from the game while reading the next bit of my article? ^ This video is great, because it reminds me on how I was sitting behind my monitor as I watched this phenomenal horrifying cutscene that prepared myself for the horror that I was going to face soon and that I could never imagine to experience someday. ItвЂ™s obvious to a role-playing gamer like me how they affect my character, but what the hell was cyber-affinity? Nevermind, the next cut scene showed up and as you may guess, something goes very very wrong! I must admit, I didnвЂ™t knew much about each skills of my choice, except for abilities like Endurance or Strengh. The next 20 minutes included to choose a branch of the military, followed by selecting first skills for my character in three training years. In the Navy Training, IвЂ™ve purchased Handgun Ammo from a shopping terminal after as the trainers voice told me that itвЂ™s possible to buy all kind of tools and ammo in shops throughout the game! That was weird! It allowed me to pull items far away from me into my direction and to fire plasma with the power of my mind and with the help of a little tool called the Psi-Amp. The Psi course was the most memorable one. Leaving the basic training behind, I entered three more training courses. Later I should learn about the problematic with that kind of inventory system. Very interesting to me was the idea of an inventory system that doesnвЂ™t pause the game while searching for an item. I couldnвЂ™t remember any other FPS that had such an inventory system. Welcome to the Basic training! The first thing IвЂ™ve learned was to switch between Shoot and use Mode. A cold droid helpers voice inside, introduced me to the basic tutorial section which I then entered straight. The gentle voice told me to enter the UNN recruitment center.

ShouldnвЂ™t there be a cleaning robot to remove the trash? Nevermind, I entered anti gravity shafts! YouвЂ™re read right: anti gravity shafts that brought me to another floor. Wow, itвЂ™s the 22st Century and there still is lying around a pushed trash can. And as I left the car, a nice voice told me what to do. My character should be prepared for his duty on the UNN Rickenbacker, the ship that will secure safety for the Starship Von Braun. My goal was to join the UNN, a military organization that is responsible to keep the peace in the universe in which System Shock takes place. I started a new game and landed inside a train car. The intro of the game was pretty cool, even if I have to say I saw better intros already in other games on other platforms.

What now follows is a description about my first hours with the game. And so I started the installation process. Well, maybe this second game might be less scary and more enjoyable. But I did remember! System Shock, the game I always started playing but never finished in all these years since it was too scary for me as a child. System Shock 2? DidnвЂ™t I played a game with a similar title already some years ago? You need to know, it was the year 1999 and I didnвЂ™t had access to the world wide web yet. On the half way through IвЂ™ve read an interesting title. I saw the big tower of cases on my desk again and checked what games he gave to me. Some days later, oh well it was one of these boring afternoons after school as I wanted to calm down a little bit from my schoolwork. I had some work to do and didnвЂ™t checked what games there are. It was a big bunch of Cd cases on the top of my table. My best friend shared some of his games with me.
