Trivia
The director Ken Levine also directed the 1st and 3rd bioshock games

Goofs
Panels can be seen with 7 rows of 1s and 0s, which are supposed to be binary numbers. However, binary numbers are 8 rows wide, not 7 numbers wide.

Quotes
Shodan: Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

Crazy credits
The credits show all of the programmers as dead bodies found in a corridor. One of them has glowing eyes, suggesting they'd been converted into a cyborg.

Greatest Piece of Interactive Entertainment Ever.

This game is simply the best game ever. End of story. Ok, not end of story... speaking of the story, it's really quite brilliant. It may seem like standard cheezy sci-fi stuff, but it's really a tale about extremes. The question the games poses, in my opinion... is which extreme is better... the strictly mechanical or the strictly biological? The answer the game poses is that a combination of the two is best. SHODAN represents the purely mechanical, The Many represent the purely biological.

Humanity represents the midway point, and the proof that humanity is going about it the right way lies in the fact that they created both the other two parties... (one by way of the other.) As well as the fact that humanity wins in the end. Or do we? Hope to see a System Shock 3 some day. (Please let this be one of those ironic comments people look back on and say "ha, look at that! we all know there was a System Shock 3 and it rocked! ho ho, he didn't even know there would be one then!) Please?
