I haven't played that version for a long time, but I believe that it also used that same SHODAN quote (even though there were no audio logs present in the game).

What did the original floppy-disk version use as a digital sound test?
The original
(September 1994) SYSTEM SHOCK floppy version 1.5S used the sound of a SV-23 Dart Pistol firing as the 'digital' portion of the sound-card setup/test using the 2,857 byte TEST.VOC file. The 'music' portion of the sound-card setup/test played of a section of the 'Elevator Music' using the 594 byte TEST.XMI file.

I was sure the 'look at you hacker...' quote was in SS1. I could've sworn I remember hearing it, perhaps on the reactor deck. Memories do have a habit of blending themselves together though...

I really didn't remember that. But I still have those floppy disks here, so I could always test the install.

Funny thing is I do remember that. I used to have both the floppy and enhanced CD copies back in the 90's era. Awesome days.

Even if a bit offtopic:
Finally a Top10 where I agree with the #1 spot.

Predicting that the #1 quote will be from Zero Wing.
edit: Thank God it isn't. #1 is a good pick, but I wanted a BG reference as well :(
