System Shock/Trivia


 * Fan Nickname: "Goggles" (AKA The Soldier from the sequel.)
 * Keep Circulating the Tapes: Both games are absent from any digital distribution method and almost impossible to find legally, and the only "legal" copies are second hand.
 * Getting an original, mint copy is one matter. Making it to work on 5th generation PCs is another matter...
 * Real Life Relative: SHODAN is voiced by Terri Brosius, wife of Eric Brosius, sound engineer and composer of System Shock 2. (She, too, was a Looking Glass employee at the time.)
 * Screwed by the Lawyers: System Shock 2 was one of the most requested releases at GOG.com. Unfortunately, due to Looking Glass Studios' assets being acquired by Meadowbrook Insurance Group after they closed down and EA holding the trademark of the System Shock name, it took until February of 2013 for them to get the rights to release it.
