What is System Shock?
System Shock is a 3-d first person action roleplaying game (RPG) created by Looking Glass Technologies, and distributed by Origin Systems, which was released in 1994. It was the first major game to enter the cyberpunk genre. It’s a close combination of a 3-d action game and an RPG, but it foregoes some of the more complex RPG elements, focussing more on gameplay.
