3.5" floppy version or Enhanced CD Version | |
|
| GOG.com | |
Bundled with System Shock: Enhanced Edition. Includes both the floppy and CD versions.[3] | |
|
| Steam | |
Bundled with System Shock: Enhanced Edition as Classic Edition. | |
- A demo is available for the floppy version.
Version differences
Bonus tracks.
- The classic Mac OS version was substantially improved during the porting process. It features high-res (640x480 vs DOS's 320x200) menus, fonts & UI elements. It also had 3 studio quality bonus tracks.[4] It was used as the basis for the Source Port Update of the Enhanced Edition.
Essential improvements
Run in DOSBox
To improve DOSBox performance make the following changes to the DOSBox configuration file:
- Change
output=surfacetooutput=opengl - Change
memsize=16tomemsize=32 - Change
core=normaltocore=dynamic - Change
aspect=falsetoaspect=true - Change
fullresolution=originaltofullresolution=desktop
Gigaquad's Enhanced log texts mod
- Gigaquad's Enhanced log texts mod matches the audio and text dialogue.
DOS32A
DOS32A is a more advanced extender and open source replacement to DOS4GW. It can improve both performance and stability of System Shock.
- System Shock has DOS4GW bound to each of its executables. Use the command
sb /r sshock.exeorcdshock.exeto replace it.
System Shock Portable/SSPTool
A useful tool for those who don't own Enhanced Edition. Was formerly a community made abandonware package of the full game, though this was later changed to require the user to provide the game data after the game was released on GOG.
- Easy to use configuration utility.
- Provides all the above mods already in the package.
- Has an installer that can easily find cd data.
- Requires Windows, does not work on Mac nor Linux. Config files and mod components can still be used.
- Still not native, unlike the Enhanced Edition. Also included DOSBox components may be out of date.
