System Shock 1

I did get SSPortable, but I couldn't get it running. Can it run smoothly in DOSBox?

If you want SS running, you have to shout: ´Lauf! Lauf! Schnell, schnell !!´

From the installation it looks like Portable runs from DOSBox per default. If you want to try troubleshooting, I can try getting the game running again and tell you what I do.

Worth a try in my oppinion.

So I got this installed on DOSBox.

It's a very interesting game. I can't believe it came out the same year as DOOM did. It was clearly lightyears ahead of its competition. Maybe that was why it sold poorly though.

I think the version I have is the floppy disk version, not the CD version. There is no speech audio.

The interface is pretty clumsy compared to later games which featured mouselook. It also took me some time to figure out how to climb up ladders (move forwards, look up, and hold jump all at once).

Combat is pretty hit-and-miss because of the interface, but the rest of the challenges and puzzles is top notch.

I so wish you were my girlfriend right now

I think lots of women have three of those things.

#4 is an outlier though, probably from my dad and bro, who've been playing games around me ever since I was little.

In that case, you're probably crazy. I don't want you anymore.

Dude, I've been on Poly since Feb 2000 and you're only just figuring this out?
