System Shock Hints
Wing 0
You'll find this game on the only cyberspace station on level R. My personal favorite, this is the long lost Wing Commander game. Your flight commander (that dumb looking guy with the patch on his eye) tells you your objective. However, you just fly around and shoot things. You position your cursor over the small game screen -- moving it left moves the ship left, move it right and it goes right, etc. The left mouse button shoots, and the right button is your throttle. Move the mouse up while pressing the right mouse button to increase your speed, and do the opposite to slow down. You can roll by holding down the right button, and moving the mouse left or right. Manuever around and kill things. That number is your speed, and those little dots are your radar.
One reason I particularly like this game is it's wackiness. The storyline is a blatant parody of Wing Commander 2 (like the cloaking Straka plot of that game) and the wingmen have silly names like Gandhi, Mother Theresa, and Gypsy (the latter uses the "They're attacking us, sir" Shadow sound bite from Wing Commander 2). The game gets pretty tough later on, though. Good things it saves every mission!
Note that this game is only in the CD-ROM version.
