The thirteen year old me probably had no idea what he’d just done, but he had set into motion a chain of events that would lead to this very article, some fifteen years later.
I had no idea what it was, but the box looked cool (they came in giant cardboard boxes back then, kids), and the review scores made it sound pretty good, so I purchased it. There are very few titles that I can remember actually purchasing, but on this particular trip into town with my parents, I found a lonely looking box sitting on top of countless Friends boxsets in my local HMV. As a young gamer, back in 1999, it flew totally under my radar but, thankfully, I picked it up a few weeks after its release. There are plenty of games in the PC Gaming Hall of Fame, but very few are as critically acclaimed as System Shock 2, the player-destroying product of a collaboration between Irrational Games and Looking Glass Studios.
