"This first release is the original, unaltered source code that was discovered by OtherSide Entertainment and graciously shared with us a few months ago. It is Power Mac native so will require an emulation tool which we’ve linked in the repo. We have been hard at work updating this code and plan to release a new version of System Shock: Enhanced Edition as well as the code in the near future."

Wow, pretty cool news. Maybe we'll start seeing some source ports for weird platforms?

Interesting. Might be able to port large portions over or update certain parts to make it compatible before enhancing the UI/features.

edit: Glancing at the article, this is the source from the UNREAL version of systemshock...

Doesn't look like it.

The Kickstarter campaign for the reboot is back on track using the Unreal engine they planned. But the source code released is the Power Mac version. Unless I'm reading this wrong.

The Github disclaimer and even the title say it's for the Power Mac version, but doesn't really say so in the article. I didn't look closely at the github page.

So i'm a bit lost now...

" It is Power Mac native so will require an emulation tool which we’ve linked in the repo."

This is from the article.

Guess skimming the article means i missed the details.. Meh.

Well this could be great news, I would love to play the original game with improved UI and resolution size. And imagine the modding potential!

Wow, that's some seriously great news. Can't wait.

Here's hoping that the new enhanced edition will allow inverting the mouse in cyberspace and fix the word spacing in higher resolutions.

So this is for the Mac version of System Shock and not the DOS version? Is the source code for the DOS version out there anywhere or has it been lost for good?

Hmmm, shame it's the PowerPC version, but then again from what I remember the original Doom source code id released was the Linux version and that turned out ok for source ports.
