We started with a core team and a simple prototype to see if we could capture the look and feel of the original game.

“We had done everything we could to make the Enhanced Edition more accessible to a modern audience but it reached the point where we began discussing a remake from the ground up. Next was Turok, followed by System Shock: Enhanced Edition and an even greater desire to take our mission to the next level. We fixed original bugs, included unfinished games mode, added support for widescreen monitors, and implemented OpenGL to update the visuals. With the release of The Original Strife: Veterans Edition and Noctropolis we were able to restore the games and add additional features. As we continued to grow in team size, so did our ambitions. “The journey started with System Shock 2 and the reception/support I received allowed me to seek out other like minded individuals who would help locate and revive more lost classics like: I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Wizardry, and The 7th Guest series to name a few. I wanted to do everything I could to breathe new life into these forgotten classics. As operating systems and video cards become more complex, we lose the ability to go back and replay many of the games we grew up with. “When Nightdive started in 2012, it was a one man operation with a singular goal- Recover gaming’s lost treasures and make them available again for all to enjoy. Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios released a fairly lengthy statement yesterday giving his thanks to everyone who has backed the project: Pop the Champagne! Put out the party nibbles! System Shock has surpassed it’s initial Kickstarter goal of $900,000 and continues to climb steadily.
