The pistol and dartgun are shown as "minipstl" and "dartpstl", respectively.Most of the items shown in the inventory have shorter or completely different names:.The "weapons/shots/grenade/patches" headers at the top of the inventory are misaligned.Nearly all of the hardware icons are different.The view and posture controls and the health/energy gauges are completely different looking.(Note: the exaggerated contrast in this shot was probably meant to make things more visible in regular print publications, rather than reflecting the actual palette seen in-game.)Īside from the "Welcome to System Shock" message and the (probably mocked-up) enemy placement, several other noticeable differences can be seen: Despite this, the same shot continued being used to promote the game even after its release, even appearing on several versions of the packaging. This screenshot has a date stamp of January 3, 1994, making this possibly the earliest build demonstrated to the public. "Episode 0", released in February, featured one screenshot of System Shock in a news item about upcoming releases from Origin. Unlike traditional gaming magazines, IE featured all previews, reviews, and other editorial content directly on the disc, including actual full-size screenshots taken directly from pre-release versions of games. Interactive Entertainment was a CD-ROM-only magazine that ran from 1994 to 1996 before being folded into Computer Games Strategy Plus.
