The game received a port on DOS, PC, and Mac with the developers later regretting the DOS port due to the limitations of no voice acting. However, despite the praise, the game's sales were deemed underwhelming by the developers. Today it is considered a cult classic, and many have gone as far as to call it a masterpiece. It was also praised for its incredible storytelling and atmosphere, both of which would be influential to many games later on, such as BioShock, Dead Space and Singularity. It was revolutionary, being one of the first first-person experiences ever to creating true 3D environments, allowing players to look up and down, jump, lean, crouch, etc. System Shock was a critical success and considered far ahead of its time.
It was followed up in 1999 by System Shock 2. System Shock was the first game in the System Shock series, developed by LookingGlass Technologies (later to be called Looking Glass Studios), produced by Origin Systems and released on September 23rd, 1994.
