Stronghold Crusader is still so good, even better with HD support.
Looks familiar.
Nice teleporting technique you've got Diego.
They are showing up like cockroaches.
It's Alan Wake's evil twin !
He just don't know it when to quit.
Excellent trolling Shodan.
Teleport THIS!
Respawning explosive car toys everywhere.
That looks interesting...
I hate cyberspace. It's like a poor cousin of Descent and Tempest.

Now read the Hacker's Guide to Sin and hopefully laugh as hard as I did.

Now it makes sense. I was wondering how I could grab some things way beyond from reach of my hands

LOL, thats one of the tamer ones. All the dungeons have a branch in them, usually with someone mostly naked splayed across the screen. You should see the one with the knight lady.

Y U NO DISABLEQUEST COMPASS TUTORIAL MODE?
Also, railgun is great for those corridors with autobombs - finally something it can handle, better, something it excels at instead of sucking horribly (just don't fire when strafing).
Combine with sensaround (rear only, switch weapon and automap MFDs back on) and shield.
Also:
Sure it does.

I don't understand the language you're speaking, I'm afraid.
The individual words look English, but it must be a coincidence.

It has come to my attention that some of us are unfairly prejudiced against games just because they happen to feature little animu girls as characters. As to avoid triggering those poor souls, I will dedicate this post to the best game of 2014:
Let's begin.
...
Actually, this run went so poorly, that I went to practice the Extra Boss to reacquaint myself with the game:
And here we go.
Pretty normal semi-random bullet pattern. Only somewhat dangerous because my ship is very fast, which makes precise micrododging difficult.
This attack has two stages. First it fires a laser downwards, and then three multilayered fans of bullets aimed at your location. The enemy ship also chases you if you go above a certain height.
So you need to misdirect it a bit, and swing around it carefully, so that the fans don't cover the whole screen, as you will need the space for the next wave (there are three in total). Not that difficult once you get the hang of it.
This one, on the other hand, is pure evil.
Seriously, I can't read this shit. I get two screen clears and still die at the end.
The enemy sweeps across the screen, firing lasers, and also shoots some aimed bullets. We just sit above it all.
Victory. Or is it?
There's a phase 2 if we haven't used a continue.
This one is very fast, but not very dense, and static as well.
The boss actively chases you and shoots that orange spray in your face, while shitting up the screen with those little pink bullets. Moving around a lot makes this much harder than it really is.
Waves of homing bullets, easily dodged by staying away and on the move.
Once we deplete its health enough, it moves into this attack, which is very intimidating, but not that hard to read once you know where to look. The bullets slow down around the middle of the screen, and then speed up again while heading down. The important thing is to look for gaps while they're in the middle. It's probably possible to just dodge them by pure reflexes, but I'm too old for that shit.
Still, I'm out of practice, and get rekt horribly here.
Bitter victory after continuing.

I don't know, is there anything approaching the tedium of finding/collecting the the Talismans of Sir Cabirus in system shock.

I don't recall anything particularly tedious in SS1 (or 2 for that matter).

[WARNING! System Shock spoilers ahead]
# Every level has a Security Rating. You must reduce this rating by smashing cameras and computer nodes on EVERY LEVEL of the game to be able to move between them.
# You must find a couple of things to stop SHODAN's first attempt at conquering the universe.
# You must then go and push buttons in three sub-dungeons to be able to jettison one of them, except the jettison mechanism conveniently malfunctions when it's needed, which means you have to wander around in a maze of relay stations to find the proper one and replace it.
# You must then find four communications arrays and destroy them.
# Once that is done you must assemble a 6-digit code of Minor Importance, go down to the Reactor level (the lowest level) which is full of radiation, and enter the code.
# After that you must go up to the Bridge (the highest) level to stop SHODAN.
# This final part requires first getting through the Security level, a one-way spiraling death trap of death.
# This final part also involves disabling the triple force field that leads to the bridge, entering cyberspace, and battling SHODAN.

Conveniently enough, that's 8 bullet points of Things Needed to Do to Beat System Shock 1.
If you thought Ultima Underworld 1 was a chore to play, I suggest skipping System Shock 1.
