6 days agoI really don’t see a reason to complain. A lot of comments ask “Why is it just a remaster and not a remake like the first System Shock?”
SS1 first got a remaster, and later a full remake. Both were great. I have no objection for NightDive to take the same approach with SS2.
I still have a similar one. It’s a vertical metal rod on a wooden base and a wooden ball on top. There’s a ring that can slide along the rod. The ring has a tiny woodpecker figure mounted on a spring. With the ring in the top position you pull the bird and it starts pecking on the rod, moving the ring downwards with each peck, making that boinging & ticking noise. I used to love it as a kid. I still do. But I used to, too.
EDIT found a video of this exact one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szhxh1eEEL4
