Was looking around for an older game called “System Shock 2”, much to my suprise the whole game is now available for FREE. And there are some user made improvements such as hi-res textures/models. One of those few games that escaped view of the public but it is well worth playing or at least trying.

Quite spooky/atmospheric, and excellent game indeed. :tup:

Great game back in the day… on now too. You’re right on the atmosphere thing too. I think System Shock and SS2 were some of the first to take it to that level of atmosphere.
