Instead, you were forced to sneak through corridors and labs, always expecting the worst. System Shock was a first-person shooter, but you never had enough ammo to blast your way through groups of enemies. You had SHODAN, still one of the greatest villains in computer game history, mocking and threatening you. Yet there were so many other aspects that made this game eerie and menacing. Graphics looked crude by today’s standards, though the later CD version improved things somewhat. Of course I played the game, and what an amazing experience that was! I had just started working as an in-house translator at Origin Systems, a subsidiary of Electronic Arts. In the end, the soundtrack is still great.Twenty-five years ago I began translating System Shock into German. Phantasm has a creepy vibe, where shock's version is more upbeat. Well, this is the biggest one of all, the Executive level music is the theme song in a slightly different pitch.
This hardcore track from the late eightes is a clear inspiration for the Reactor level music, I think both songs are pretty metal in their own right, but theres no denying head like a hole inspired the soundtrack.ģ) Phantasm main theme-Fred Myrow. This track from the early 80's sounds very much like the Research level track, albeit a bit more funky, share your thoughts! (I'll be linking all songs at the end)Ģ) Head like a hole-Nine inch nails.
So I'd thought I'd list the ones that sound the most similar, and give my thoughts on them.ġ) Lunatic fringe-Red rider. A few tracks sounded similiar to existing music. I was recently replaying the first System Shock, when I noticed something.
