Thankfully that is no longer the case, as Night Dive Studios tracked down the rights and released a ''System Shock: Enhanced Edition'' with patches and updates to keep the game up to date with modern computers such as the addition of mouselook by default and support for higher resolution, fixed bugs from the original game, and more. The CD re-release of the game is also bundled with ''Enhanced Edition'' (and GOG.com also provides the original floppy disc version), allowing the DOS version of the game to be available digitally.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The original ''System Shock'' is still in legality limbo as it has yet to be re-released in any shape or form for modern computer systems with a "portable" version of the game still floating around. ''System Shock 2'' on the other hand was [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes/{{Rescued}} rescued]] in 2013 and is available on Website/GOGDotCom and {{Steam}}.
Added DiffLines:
*KeepCirculatingtheTapes: The first game is absent from any digital distribution method and almost impossible to find legally, and the only "legal" copies are second hand.
**Getting an original, mint copy is one matter. Making it to work on 5th generation PCs is a whole different can of worms...
**For the original System Shock, the fans created an [[http://www.systemshock.org/index.php/topic,211.0.html enhanced version]] that runs on modern systems.
**The sequel has several fan fixes, including a patch from an anonymous programmer (Based allegedly on leaked source code) that updates the engine. The GOG and Steam releases comes with the patches already applied, so now SS2 can be bought not only fully compatible with all Windows up to 8, but also with support for very high resolutions, widescreen, mousewheel, and more.
**Averted by System Shock 2, which has modern computer compatible releases through GOG.com and Steam.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: System Shock 2 was one of the most requested releases at GOG.com. Unfortunately, due to Looking Glass Studios' assets being acquired by Meadowbrook Insurance Group after they closed down and EA holding the trademark of the System Shock name, it took until February of 2013 for them to get the rights to release it.
