I also spent a long time getting the thing working in the first place, didn't have anywhere to put it other than my bed and it got put away and never taken out again. Someday I will try again - I have a nice (really expensive for the time) wavetable sound card that wouldn't work in DOS on my old 486; I did get the drivers loaded on the Pentium but the extra memory they took up may be why my fries were unsalted.

I actually still have an old (ancient?) 95 box that I keep to play most of my DOS games; sorry ya couldn't get SS to work. Someone made a free package on the net somewhere that's supposedly easier to use on modern machines but I haven't looked into it yet. I don't know who voiced Lansing - it'd be interesting to see what format Shock could take to the big screen. Animated, CGI, live action... Somehow, I feel like it'd have to be medium-blending. Especially for the Cyberspace segments, which blew me away as a kid.

Last time I tried to play it though I could not get my fries salted, which is a pity since the first two times around were on an underpowered machine with lousy FM synthesis.

I was playing system shock the other day - and even though the controls are still as weird as other, they're actually pretty intuitive if you've played the game before. Anyway, the levels, the creepiness, SHODAN = classic. How the sweet mother of coffee does this tie in to K-G? I was blown away by how good the plot and pacing was in System Shock. Not so much Kiddy Girl. So. I was playing system shock the other day – and even though the controls are still as weird as other, they’re actually pretty intuitive if you’ve played the game before.
