In this episode of Retro-Spec, Indigo takes a look at Looking Glass Studios, the developer behind Ultima Underworld, System Shock, Thief and many more classic games that inspire games we play two decades later.
In part two of three of the series "Through the Looking Glass", we cover the middle of the company's lifespan, with the classic cyberpunk horror hit System Shock, the self-publishing years which saw the release of the Flight Unlimited games, Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri and British Open Championship Golf. Also covered is the legendary title Thief: The Dark Project, its evolution from Dark Camelot, and its inspirational features and themes.
Corrections:
Eric and Terri Brosius's last name is correctly pronounced "BRO-SHUSS", not "BRO-SE-US".
