DS development > Is there a port of System shock 1 in the making?

Since the ports of doom and heretic were quick in their arrival i was wondering if there is any conversion of System shock being done......

Probably not, since the source code wasn't released.

System Shock on DS would be really something... Too bad it's not gonna happen.

Looking Glass games were really amazing. I wouldn't mind an Ultima Underworld port too. ;)

The source code wasnt released? but i've seen some conversion projects to other engines including the doom 3 one.....

There have been some attempts at rewrites. If one finishes, perhaps it could be a viable codebase to port from.

Even if the original source were released, Origin's code tends to be so bad that it's not worth the trouble. =)

This seemed to be the best info available about data types and such when I was briefly considering doing an Ultima Underworld port.
