Regarding the original System Shock game

Both the PC and Mac versions I have came without a front sleeve if there ever was one. Always thought it odd, but the graphics on the CD itself is enough really.

I still have my System Shock floppy disks :cheeky:

My CD doesn't have Terminal Access in it - I have the hard copy of the manual instead, along with an install guide, a reference card, and a postcard advertising that System Shock I.C.E. Breaker is coming soon :)

Same here and it wasn't unusual for Origin at the time. My copies of SS1, Underworld 1+2 CD and Ultima 7 collection all lack case lid sleeves.

Hm, yeah, didn't know the jewel box didn't have a front cover. Thought that the seller just lost it. But that's true: (http://www.mobygames.com/game/system-shock/cover-art)

I own two different type of installation CD-ROM discs. Does anyone know if LG ever pressed a third type of CD? I havn't done a file comparison yet to determine a difference in the actual Shock files, but one has the terminal access on it, and one doesn't. Both also have a slightly different CD art, one uses a smaller font and a slightly smaller scale of the elite cyborg dude.

In the US, I believe those are the only 2 versions; one from the early pressings when the game came with a hardcopy manual in a big box like the original floppy disc version, and one later, a "CDROM Classics" version with the manual on the disc in a slim box. Technically, there was also a reprint of the latter version that came with a mini-manual as the insert on the front ("Electronic Arts Presents" version). That one was just a CD case with the aforementioned manual and the disc.

Other countries I can't speak for.

Speaking of other countries, I'd kill to get my hands on (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/BCC/20130113/p1) one of these.

Now that is AWESOME!
From what google translate is willing to let me make sense out is, that all texts are translated, but audio is still in english.*
The game was released in Japan by a company called Infinity Corporation in 1996 or 2000?
Could you even by that in stores in Japan? I'm not sure about that.

*It would be very cool to have this files. This either means you need monayy (lots) and/or contacts to some japanese Shock fans. I have neither.
