System Shock 2 begins with you being unfrozen from a long cryogenic sleep aboard the Rickenbacker, a security spaceship assigned to tail the Von Braun on her maiden voyage. Apparently, the Von Braun has been infested by an unknown alien race and has converted the crew into relatively intelligent zombies. You must gather bits of audio clips along the way to figure out what happened to your crew and, more importantly, how you can rid the ship of the aliens. Rely on your skills training from either the Navy, Marines, or OSA to guide you on this difficult path. This 3D title offers unbelievable graphics, as the Thief engine is utilized to provide mouth-watering environments and character skins. The astounding graphics, varied RPG elements, and fluid action make this title worthwhile.

I have the original System Shock 1 and System Shock 2 game on CD. I would like to share them with the fans but I don't know how? Where can I send the ISO files? I will come back later to look after your response...

Scenes don't work but I don't really care about that. My problem is the audio doesn't work. Speaker Test doesn't work and the voice as well as audio dialog seems to be missing. Other audio is present. Music and some sound effects.

It's a shame, I want to play this game and enjoy it but it's so problematic I can't.

Download the iso file from torrent. Then go to www.sshock2.com and read tutorial for installation.
They haven't made the game work for windows 7, and since EA own the rights, **** em! I bought the game in 1999, but a "friend" stole it. borrowed it, moved away and said he lost it. So I just found the iso file. No shame in that :p

Playing it with Rebirth and SHTUP installed, it's worth it. I liked it more then Deus Ex, may be because you start without everything but bare hands. Survival horror at it's best. And it's cyberpunk!
The game ahead of it's time.
