@@craig3077 It's a game that's still worth playing today and introduced features that would influence a lot of the most famous games we know now. Just because you weren't able to get into it, which is completely fine by the way, doesn't take away any of the merit that this game clearly achieves. I think this game is still incredibly underrated.
it has an awesome campy 80’s CG vibe to it along with the surprisingly competent dogfighting controls even if they have a steep learning curve (enhanced edition eases things a bit with mouselook though) the movies Tron and Hackers come to mind
There's a confusing wireframe-space / Descent feel to the cyberspace that is totally William Gibson's vision for cyberspace. I believe they faithfully reproduced the "at the time" expectations for how virtual space would be presented to a Decker.
@@ryobibattery I can see the resemblance...though Acid Track looking it up and listening to it actually reminds me more of Descent's music, also from around the same era. Thx for dropping the name, always like to find more 80's era electronica 👍
Entering cyberspace alters the controls from the main game with some floating power ups to grab & use. Sounds as a 80’s synth music themed for system shock.
Thing about the SS1 soundtrack is that unlike most games where the music is just a sound file that's played at certain triggers, SS1 feeds the raw MIDI data to your sound card, which can lead to the music sounding completely different on different computers.
l much prefer this version than anything else. This soundfront(which l don't quite understand its name even while watching the comments here) perfectly fits System Shock. No remakes or other editions can match it. l want the name of it, l wonder, if l ever make a game, l would like to have the old soundfronts. They really have catchy beats when used right. That solo piano example at 2:09 somewhere,is a perfect example of proper sound .
It's just the standard Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, the MIDI synth that's been built into Windows for over 20 years. More accurately, the origin of the sounds to begin with is the Roland Sound Canvas, or the SC-55.
@@Cr4z3d Thats 100% not the GS Wavetable Synth, the percussion channel on the built in Windows MIDI sounds like complete ass. This is either using real SC-55 hardware or some custom soundfont. It sounds remarkably close to Chorium although there are subtle differences
@@HourOfOblivion It sounds identical to the official pre-recorded versions of the songs included with the Enhanced Edition, which is definitely GS. I actually found out that GS has different banks for drums you can switch between, one is "Power" which hits much harder. EDIT: Actually no, comparing the two again you're right, this upload is definitely not GS Wavetable. The officially released recording _is_ for sure though which is actually hilarious. Another thing I can personally note is that interestingly of all soundfonts, the the Cyberspace theme actually sounds really good with the Android MIDI synth too.
How to I create music like this? I’ve searched countless times and I couldn’t find what VST or program to download. Is there a VST from that era that could work on modern hardware?
@@kermeetdafrowg4258 look up the video "Amiga Samplers : Budget dance music in 1990" by debuglive here on youtube. It will tell you literally everything you want to know its a great video
ChoriumRevA or WeedsGM3 are what I consider to be the most faithful. Closest to the DOS default soundfont. That being said, Arachno and Giants I really enjoy too but they are more synth-ey.
4y27k72 There’s an outstanding SC-55 soundfont by EmperorGrieferus, it’s the closest to the default DOS soundfont (since it’s the exact same samples but not compressed).
@@Sam-oq7rb hey doesn't ss2's intro cutscene play a bit of intro's music from ss1? wonder what's the closest sf to that? upd: it turns out that that intro has the mac os version of the song playing
@@4y27k72 What do you mean, DOS default? For MIDI, that's arguably the OPL2 synth. Wavetable synths were around, but they were 3-4x the price of a cheap Adlib or Soundblaster, and the MT-32 needed its own setup because it wasn't a PC peripheral.

😂
The opening segment is so good considering it's the part that plays during "the final boss"

It's not underrated, they didn't work on it and made really stupid decisions.
@@craig3077 That's possible. Also the style of the time and resources.

@@spacedetective_ also the enhanced edition fixed all the problems I had with it
I only played this game once in 2020, and I absolutely loved cyber space. Idk why people don't like it. It's a fun little game within a game
those poor souls in 1994 didn't have mouselook
@@fbiblockedmemes9259 holy shit i just realized that lmao
@@fbiblockedmemes9259 I heard people hating on it even in the enhanced edition
The wire frame graphics make it hard to tell the difference between a wall and a hole

Every time when I listen this, it's always remind me of Terminator 1984 (Police Station scene)
One of my favorite tracks.
Also featured in system shock: Infinite
Kelis 98 yee
System Shock Infinite ? Were you refering to Bioshock Infinite ?
Felix Dumbravescu He's talking about a mod with similar name
This is how late 80s rave music legit sounded

I like that drum beat.
you would like sin by NIN

This could very well fit into deux ex 2000
The first section was remixed in the danceparty song.
Feels weirdly SNES like
Super APM yeah some instruments used in snes games were also used in some dos games
snes's sound chip sucks
@@BusinessZeus listen anything made by Tim Follin on the snes.
The Snes soundchip was beyond it's years.

@@BusinessZeus Someone's never heard David Wise's Donkey Kong Country tracks...
That sweet sweet synth.
Yes this is godly 🎹〰️⚡️🌌🔥
I think I hear a little bit of "Sin"
One of the favorites from SS1's soundtrack.
The part @ 2:08 is so nice.
This sounds so much better than the in game version...
@Justus Bowman It's not I just mean the totally vanilla game just sounds a little like someone is farting on a synthesizer

probably the soundfont you're using, there's a guide for the enhanced edition that helps, this is using chromium rev a

Anyone know what soundfont this is? Really digging that synth zap.
Should just be general midi.
I think it’s the Roland mt32
Chorium Rev A

What is the most faithful soundfont for SS1?
Sto Karatów No idea if faithful but Arachno or Unison are my favorites for ss1

great
Really like this theme, although the Remake iteration is slowly growing on me.
POV: 7th grade me looking up "boobies and naked girls" on the computer at school
So this is different variation of intro?
0 dislikes :D
Great to see
The only people who end up here are SS1 fans. Makes sense

Which version is this on3?
2:50
MS-DOS version is definitely the best one, since all the music sounds like floppy disk drives. lolol
Oddly reminds me of Burzum
Burzums is my favorite restaurant. :>
At 01:38 yeah it reminds me of burzum
Did I connect and detach the DVD drive again and again ?
