While the sequel gets a lot more attention, I think the original is a much more consistent experience start to finish. System Shock was in a class of it own in 1994: The level design, the audio immersion and voice acting, the environmental flipping storytelling.
Next thing I know I am in the original Citadel Station, desperate to escape. I picked up the remake on release, then opened the original just to, you know, get a looksee and stroll down memory lane for five minutes. SHODAN is actually doable, for one, even if facing her is still a chaotic, confusing mess. The controls are still a smidge archaic, but a lot faster to grow on you. Coming from someone who played the original (but could *not* beat SHODAN in cyberspace no matter how hard I tried), the Enhanced Edition released by Nightdive really is the way to experience this game. Remains one of the most immersive horror experiences all these years later.
