Keep Circulating the Tapes: For many years, the game was absent from any digital distribution method and almost impossible to find legally, and the only 'legal' copies were second hand.However, both Spector and project leader Doug Church decided that they wanted a greater degree of creative freedom with the game and to not be tied to an existing franchise, and so reconfigured the pitch into its own original setting very early into pre-production. Divorced Installment: The game was originally conceived and pitched by Warren Spector as a Wing Commander spin-off with the Working Title Alien Commander, and would be set on the wreckage of TCS Tiger's Claw.In fact, it was only released as a result of Executive Meddling, and Warren Specter has even gone as far as to speculate that its release may have hampered the sales of the game overall. Creator Backlash: The developers aren't particularly fond of the floppy disk version of the original System Shock.It would first be spoken in-game as part of the intro to the sequel, which is where it took off with the fandom. The quote was from a sound test file for the DOS version of the game. Beam Me Up, Scotty!: A variant: as famous as the 'Look at you, Hacker' quote is, it's never actually said in the game itself.Stumble across an audio log describing the precise solution to stopping SHODAN’s plan and learn you’ve already completed most of it by interacting with every object you’ve seen across the station - unless you flipped the wrong switch in the wrong order, in which case congratulations, Earth is doomed.Realize you require an item from a different level and repeat all the previous steps there.Look around for giant screens with numbers, and for god’s sake, write them down - you’re going to need them.Loosen SHODAN’s hold on the level by shooting security cameras, flipping switches, activating resurrection stations, solving high-tech Pipe Dream puzzles, and jacking into cyberspace arenas that work like an even trippier variant of Descent.Wander around whichever level of Citadel Station you happen to be on, fighting an ever-proliferating crew of mutants and cyborgs, plus some robots that will make you rue the invention of the printed circuit board while watching the game’s map fill in and taking note of its many locked doors.Hear about some flamboyantly omnicidal plan of SHODAN’s, often from SHODAN herself, who loves taunting you as much as she hates humans.
