Finally, got a win 98 system to play Sys shock 2 in.
Had managed to download a copy of the game after searching a lot, but my XP PC just refuses to run this game (along with quite a few other programs, so I guess its time to re-install). Anyway, the game used to crash once a few mins, and I was getting extremely frustrated.
The PC here has a working win 98 installation, and sys shock 2 runs smoothly in it. No crashes or anything. Me cleared the training levels and started a misson. Hope to see some action soon.
Have been reading a novel titled “Alien”. Its based on the hit movie (or the other way around. Me not 100% sure)of the same name from Warner Bros, and so far has been a very interesting read. The Alien has just been brought into the ship, and the part where the stuff hits the fan cannot be far away now

A few days of idling and chomping down tonnes of food beckon…. and the reaction to my longer hair has not been negative…. looks like this will turn out to be a decent trip…..
Update :
———-
Right after this post, SS2 started crashing. Has not managed to work even once since then.
. Looks like I will have to switch back to Diablo2.
Update 2:

Got SS2 working again. Chucked out the cutscenes folder and everything ok again. Game looks really interesting. And the HL pipe-wrench and Doom3 PDA seem to have been lifted from this game !.
Also finished Alien. Awesome book. Certainly “gripped” me (pun intended).
. Bookseeker, I recommend it highly. You will enjoy it.
