System Shock/Trivia


 * Fan Nickname: The unnamed protagonist of the second game is generally referred to as 'Goggles'.
 * Keep Circulating the Tapes: The first game is 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.
 * Technology Marches On: A minor example, but try shooting out any of the monitors in the first game. The sound of rushing air and the way they look when broken proves that every screen on Citadel Station is a CRT.
