After Bioshock I have an interest in the System Shock games. Here's hoping Bioshock's popularity leads that company to rerelease those two. The first one's a DOS game it seems so they'll likely be lazy about that and just DOSBox it (a common move these days) and send it up on Steam that way. That'll do so long as it runs well in DOSBox. The second one was made for Windows 9x, but it was one of those early ones that wasn't coded for DirectX so it has serious problems running in XP from what I've read. That one will need to be recoded a bit to work right, then they can put it up on Steam.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
