I am the luckiest man in the world. I was just driving throguh Mirboo North (victoria, australia) on the way to the beach, and we stopped near a bakery so my gf could get a drink. I was waiting in the car and I noticed some disgusting old PC shop with a window FULL of old pc games. i went to take a look and noticed a heap of bootlegged copies of Alone in the Dark 2, so i was like "fuck this shit".
But then... i saw it...
System shock... the first pressing, none of that EA classics shit... Enhanced CD version... STILL SEALED... it's still got the shiny Electronic Arts seal of quality on the outside of the shrink wrap.
I took it to the counter and said "How much is this?" and he said "fifteen dollars... oh wait... is that an XP game?". I said "Um, this is a DOS game."
"Oh, Five dollars then."

"fifteen dollars... oh wait... is that an XP game?"
"Um, this isn't just a game you freak! Can't you see this? This is System Shock!!!"
"Oh, Five dollars then."

"Oh, Five hundred dollars then."
this would have been the more likely scenario ;)

Truly, rare gems are often found amidst in rough settings. Good find!
(and shame on that shop owner for selling pirated goods!!! :devil: )

That's right...
Alone in the Dark 2 wants to be free!

I got lucky and had a friend order System Shock 1 CD for me from some online place and while we expected to get a copy or worse.... it was actually new never opened still in the plastic with seal! :)
My friend could not believe it and I keep that sucker put up for safe keeping.
If anyone wants 1:1 copy of the cd I made an image of it using Alcohol and can host it on a torrent site, I have 1Mbit upload so it should go fast and its just 257mb rarred up. :thumb:
