Good eye Jarhead! Maybe Wasteland and Diablo as well (see later screenshots for Colonization) if your reasoning is correct. :)

Or maybe they are just using GoG names.  :(

SS2 is a great game, and is even better with the graphics update patch (which brings it up to 2005 standards or so). It is the only game I have played and beaten multiple times. It does have some issues with later editions of Windows (like Vista and 7) but you can work around it.

I don't think I've ever heard of it.
But I've gotta ask, Jarhead0331 how in world did you find that!?

Well that explains the cryptic "System Found!" banner on GOG's homepage.  That one had me scratching my head.

first boot up of the game was in a room, in the dark, with my back to the door - never again

first game that ever made me do a girly squeal of fear outloud

I think he meant bbmike for his inexcuseable System Shock ignorance. BTW SoM do you have a link for the patch to update SS2?

Sigh.  I buy it, put it on the pile.  Being retired (sorta) everyday is Xmas!

I believe this is the one you are looking for. It was just updated today with instructions on how to use it with the GoG version. I haven't bought it yet, but I plan on implementing this tomorrow.

Also, the other mod was SHTUP, but it may be included in the above patch.

I was in college when this came out and was busy with other things....... primarily my future wife... anyways I played some late last night and have to say with it moded up I think it is a tremendous value for the money..... so much so I enjoyed it a lot more than I have Dead Space.  I will probably finish this one.  Good Stuff!
