System Shock modded to have mouselook! System Shock modded to have mouselook!

This is a big one. No, really. News reached me via Qt3 that Malba Tahan – henceforth known as Saint Malba Tahan – has created a mod for the original System Shock. As well as letting you configure keys and plays with resolution, it adds mouse-look to the game. System Shock is, frankly, one of the most important videogames of all time, and the difficulty in actually learning its pre-mouse-look controls the biggest impediment to people going back and play it now. With Malba’s work, that’s gone. Assuming you can get hold of a copy, go get the mod here (http://www.strangebedfellows.de/index.php?topic=1719.0).

I was reading about this earlier. Does it even run? I still can't get system shock 2 to run on vista or win7 (though I've heard turning off all but one core might help)
I wish there would be more AvP Classic 2000 deals where they have older games on Steam for $5 that can actually run on modern PC.

They need to get both SS games on GoG so we can actually play the damn games without spending all day (futilely) trying to get them to run on modern computers.

seconded.
I tried to get SS2 working once on XP and followed the patch directions but it never worked >_<

You know, we're all expecting news on the next project from Relic, and this thread title pops up... :maf :punch

SS2 works FLAWLESSLY on Windows XP. Maybe I can help you somehow, Bebpo?
Yeah, I had no problems getting it to run on XP.

XP is for poors. Tried installing on 7 and no go.

I remember d/ling SS2 and it ran fine without music, but then crashed when I d/led and extracted the music to the game. No way I'm playing through a game without music.

i remember playing SS2 just fine... i think it was a time when HOTU was still around,it was okay i guess ???
