Last week I spotted a copy of System Shock 1 in a pile of old games about to be thrown away by someone. Obviously, I grabbed it instantly and rescued it from from an undeserving fate. I wanted it for myself to keep, to play, and not to sell.
I see on ebay that copies of the "big box" CD version are going for around 45GBP. Are they really that rare?

um... YEAH!:sweat:
I remember I bought my own big box edition (the only kind, then) for $90 US back in '95. Definitely worth keeping those originally packaged old games. Good find, btw.

I bought the boxed CD version off eBay years ago, but it turned out to contain official disks of the floppy version, and a CD-R of the CD version. Very odd.

You should've spotted the guy who did that and kick the shit out of him.

I got the CD version from a friend who got it with a local gaming magazine years ago (in 1996 or 1997); I never saw the big box version of it, even though I have the big box of SS2 hidden somewhere at my mother's home.

Hope you got your money back.

I never saw the box set. When I called the game store about it, they all ready had SS2 out. I was playing Med from SS1 off a demo cd for a whole year. Dammit I know every twist and turn down there by memory. I could do it blindfolded lol

The original box had very distinctive cyborg art graphics. Nice to keep ;)
