<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Sebatianos @ Jul 25 2007, 02:06 AM) [snapback]301233[/snapback]</div>I too played and was overwhelmed by this game (loosly based on this book that started the whole cyberpunk genre) the 64 as a child... I played it years later on the Amiga and mildly enjoyed it, but found later types of this game (Shadowrun on the Snes and Genesis) to be much more satisfying.

This a true classic and I enjoyed it immensely as I had already read the book. I just loved to play Case himself. Note that the game is quite hard, especially towards the end. I can't recall how many times I got wasted in the matrix, but it was a lot ! Your biggest problem is money, but there is a cheat (can't recall) that allows you to make a million bucks or so the first day.

Highly recommended for Gibson fans !

The book was great, though I never really got much into the game.

Bit of trivia: The theme playing on the title screen is "Nothing ever changes" by Devo.

Also: the money can be easily hacked using any hex editor of your choice.

PS: Reminds me we've got several approved requests for System Shock in the forum...

This (along with Wasteland) is probably my all time favorite game! I too got it on the C64 to start, and went to buy it with a friend. When we got home, we went to 7-11 for provisions, and ended up playing for 16 hours straight! It was the kind of game that made you want to try just one site, or make it to the next zone, and then of course you found some new warez, and needed to try them out!

Completely agree that this one would be a great remake -- I bought Uplink (by Introversion), but it is a bit too repetitive.

Wtf, how long have I requested to have this game on here, every time I've been told it's ESA, now someone posts it on the site.

You're all hypocrites.

I think the graphics are very good for 1989 game.

Something that has been happening quite a lot. The changes happened in winter if I'm not mistaking. You may look at threads about it (don't know where they are - haven't been to the forum at the time). I bet this was all anounced.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Blood-Pigggy @ Jul 25 2007, 07:35 PM) [snapback]301350[/snapback]</div>You requested it once, two years ago.

At the time the entire situation with ESA was not very clear and we were avoiding ESA games like leprosis. It was way before the 10/15 year rule.

The graphics don't bother me as I'm old so I am used to them. Anyway gameplay means more to me. I will download this but might never get a chance to play.
