I picked up this oldie from the clearance rack for $9. Holy smokes, this game is so creepy! *shiver*

If I recall correctly, that's the one that came out after "Thief: The Dark Project" and uses an updated version of the Thief engine, right?

If you like that one, don't forget to pick up Thief. It's just as creepy but less complicated to play.

I have Thief 2, came with my graphics card. I installed that, and played it for a little while. Lots of sneaking around, but not really creepy.

I've played some more of System Shock. There are parts that are just downright scary!! I haven't been scared by a game since the original Resident Evil on the Playstation!

Calvin <-- chicken ? :-D

I never player Thief2.

The original Thief starts out with just sneaking around, but you start to uncover a mystery as the game progresses, and things get really creepy really fast. And yes, there are Zombies in it, too.

I never played the original Thief. I'll put that one on the list. I wish I had lots of money and no need to work, then I could read, listen and play everything. Oh well. I'm so behind the times. :-) Observation: The need to work distracts from participating in culture.
