I can't believe I still love SS1... - by Saam

I keep telling myself that I need to play System Shock 1 but continue to play System Shock 2. After 20+ play through s with System Shock 2 and here I go starting yet another round of System Shock 2.
With over 100 games on hand for PC, X Box, Play Station and an old Sega game system I always wander back to System Shock 2 after playing something else for a while.
Thanks to all for the Shock franchise and those whom are here that work to keep it alive and well. You have my gratitude. :thumb:

And I have the right to ban him.
I was wondering if that was going to happen. :erg:
For the record, I though he was a girl, too.

It's like people who still enjoy and listen to a lot of modern music but can also appreciate classical music for how great it is.
Bingo.

It's because "moon" is considered to be feminine, in western culture at least.
And I tend to be of the opinion that, within the genre, System Shock 1 has yet to be surpassed.

Not just the moon, but "hope" and "light" are also seen as very feminine words. I've known at least one girl named Hope, too.
BioShock could have been that game...sadly, it fell short.

Been playing Age of Empires again?

Wow...that's a little embarrassing. :o
Knowing that, it sounds a lot more like a guy, now. :erg:

Taught me everything I know about history...

That, and the fact that summoning leagues of cannon cars solves any conflict. ;)
And monkeys. Can't forget about the monkeys. :D

I never played it but I had to localise the game's manuals. They have some pretty good stories hidden in there, like the one about the old priest who remembers his times of riding with Attila the Hun. That was better than many short stories I read. Most of it is rather well researched too, considering it's cultureless Americans who wrote it.
