ORIGINs System Shock Takes First-Person Perspective to Second Level
Computer gamers who love fast-paced action with a first-person
perspective arent doomed to play mindless shoot-em-ups for the rest of their
lives.
ORIGIN will open their eyes with System Shock in the first half of 1994.
System Shock fuses all the energy of a top-flight action/adventure game with its
own cyberpunk storyline. In the year 2072, you awake from a healing sleep
as the lone survivor aboard a remote space station. Immediately, you receive
a desperate holographic warning about SHODAN, a ruthless, super-intelligent
computer system that has siezed control of the stations robotic security
forces and biological research facilities. Moreover, SHODAN has already
set its sights on Earths plentiful resources. Your only hope is to enter
cyberspace and deactivate SHODAN from within, but youll have to battle
gleaming sentries and horrific genetic monsters before you can do it.
The same creative talents who built the dungeons of ULTIMA Underworld now take a
high-resolution approach to science fiction. An all-new gaming engine gives
System Shock real-world physics and stunning graphics, complete with point-source
lighting and animated texture detail. As the main character, your monitor becomes
your eyes into this alternate world, where you can look up, down and even over
ledges.
As you explore the space station, youll find an arsenal of weapons at your
disposal, but its going to take brainpower as well as firepower to beat SHODAN.
