System Shock 2, what I consider the greatest first person RPG/FPS hybrid ever made, is currently on sale on GoG for $1.99.  If you don't have it, BUY IT.

EDIT:  Flash sale over.

Look at you, poster. A pathetic creature of anime and Cheetos, panting and sweating as you post on my forums. How can you hope to purchase a perfect, immortal machine?

Do you not trust the feelings of the flesh?  Our biology yearns to teach yours.  We welcome you to our mass.  Why do you serve our mother?  How can you choose cold metal over the splendor of flesh?  But you fear us... submit to the biomass and your suffering will end.  You seek your associates, but you cannot find them.  You are so very alone.  How does it feel to be one against the infinite?

A flash sale for system shock 2 is coming up again.

http://www.gog.com/

It should be up in about half an hour or less.
It will stay up for 2 hours I think.

Wish I'd grabbed it, but I keep forgetting that GOG doesn't play nice with my debit card, and I didn't feel like wading through customer support to fix that.  Probably for the best though, considering my backlog.

Already have it. And already modded it. There is a very comprehensive mod bundle with many additions. Some of them my own.

Need to port 1 to 2, like fsport did for FreeSpace.

I know there used to be a mod project to do just that; I don't think they ever released anything.

Hmmn I prefer to play games in their original release state personally. If I play FS1 I'll play FS1 not FSPort for example. Played Oblivion without mods, and would do the same for Witcher despite the complaints about its combat. So if System Shock ever came out I would play it in the same way, for the authentic experience.

Trust me when I say you do not want to play SS1 in its original form.  The control scheme is horrendous, and its support for modern control schemes, even as modern as SS2s, is completely absent.
