      150. System shock 1
      Feb 8 2026
      Once again into the fray. System Shock 1 is what it's all about today. DJ Daemon joins the hacker in the corridors of terror that is Citadel station and has to confront the evil A(G)I Shodan.Also, some really fresh tracker music released in 2026 and some really old ones from the 90s. It's all about cyborgs, mutated abominations and a dungeon crawler in space. Remember the Citadel!Playlist:00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - today with a stories from the retro past 00:06 DJ Daemon speaks: Today's game is System Shock 1. Follow us as we visit a dark place. It's not the first time in this podcast, but this time we will give you the whole story. We are running and sweating through the blood-drenched walls of a once peaceful place now ruled by a mad goddess who hates us with the strength of a thousand suns. But as we challenge her to a race to the death, we become her highly respected enemies. Welcome to her death machine! And you will also get some hot tracker music. Flashback, tracks from the past will soon be playing on your cyberdeck. 00:57 SLL of Kefrens - Techno1 01:45 SLL of Kefrens - Techno3 02:46 SLL of Kefrens - Techno2 04:05 DJ Daemon speaks: To get the vibes of System Shock 1, we have to talk about Cyberpunk movement. It's said to have emerged in the 70s, but got a massive boost in 1994, when Willaim Gibson released the novel Neuromancer. The world of cyberpunk is a dystopia where big corporations control the world. Neuromancer explores a cyberspace to which you can connect your minds, AI: s that are really AGI: s and alive and a world where the hacker is a rebel that refuses to be controlled by the powers that be. The way I remember, the cyberpunk movement soon went into worshipping the hacker archetype of the cyborg. That is a human with computer enhancements added. The protagonist in Neuromancer could connect to cyberspace with his mind though a wearable computer called a "cyberdeck". In System Shock 1, you are that kind of hacker, ready to strike a blow to the system. 05:15 Trackerartist - Drug 09:44 DJ Daemon speaks: Released in 1994 by Origin, System Shock 1 was a doom-esquee experience that may have been totally misunderstood. It should probably be more compared to its spiritual predecessor, Ultima Underworld rather than Doom. In its original shape, it lacked mouse view. You had to click to move your head. But if you add the mouse view addon, it plays close to the experience of Doom. Yes, it's still an FPS. That is first person shooter. You run through the corridors of a spaceship and shoot monsters, collect new weapons and ammo and avoid getting killed. It does have a lot that Doom simple did not provide. Chiefly a story driven by audio logs that you pick up along the way. 10:51 Josss - Chopper 12:54 Beyond - Lost 15:05 Ether audio - A world where air is mud 17:20 DJ Daemon speaks: The year is 2072 and you live in what was once the United States of America. You are a hacker, breaking into Trioptimum corporation and their corporate network. But you don't get far, as armed people storm your apartment and apprehend you. The transport then heads to a mining space station in orbit around Saturn. This is Citadel station and it is where the game will start. In the command bridge of the station, you meet up with TrioOptimum CEO Edward Diego. He knows what you did but offers a true “sweetheart” deal: just remove the ethical constraints from the station's onboard AI Shodan. In the end of this episode, I will delve into the question if Shodan is a living being or not. But back to the story. Mr. Diego is now pleased with your work offering you an R-grade brain implant. This is the most coveted implant, as you can now connect to networks with your mind. Diego is happy, he can now remove compromising data from Shodan and save himself from a pending investigation. You got into a 6-month healing coma before you can use your new neural implant. 18:46 Josss - Bitter peel22:31 DJ Daemon speaks: You wake up in the medical suite at Citadel station. Shodan's voice comes on in a message welcoming you back to the station. But there is something off with her voice. It stutters and seems to be weird. You grab your stuff, which for some weird reason includes a lead pipe. As soon as you leave the healing suite, a robot attacks. And it gets only worse after that. You're stuck in the medical deck, with cameras watching and the elevators disabled. And weird abominations attack from everywhere. When you find the first audio tape, you slowly start understanding what happened once you were gone. The monsters are creations of a mad scientist … Yes … Shodan. The AI that controls the station and now sees herself as a goddess. Maybe you shouldn't have performed brain surgery on a living AI and not expect there not to be consequences. The few remaining survivors are dwindling, and the resistance has by and large failed. Finally, you find the CPU clusters that are part of Shodan's brain and...

      149. Psi 5 trading company
      Feb 1 2026
      Psi 5 trading company is probably the coolest Star trek-esque experience a user could have on the Commodore 64. In this episode, DJ Daemon explores the fast pace, frantic and crazy space journey. It has pirates, a stressed out crew and whatever a "Cravenlator" is. Do we even care if it blows up?Can you make it to port before the pirates blow a large whole in the side of your ship and steal the cargo? Let's see... Also in this hour, the latest tracker music created in 2026.Playlist:00:00 ericade.radio - Time for Flashback, tracks from the past - today with a stories from the retro past00:06 DJ Daemon: Where to today? Let's try space! Today’s game is not Star trek but may give you a little bit of that feeling.00:35 Obsessed by evil - Fireflies at night07:02 DJ Daemon: In the year 1985, the Commodore 64 was settling in just fine as the popular gaming computer that it had become. This was also the year of the Nintendo NES and the Amiga. But that is a story for another episode.07:53 Yomaru Kasuga - Dreams for tonight14:17 DJ Daemon: Psi 5 trading company then. First you select the crew for the five departments, weapons - scanning - navigation - engineering and repair. And they are a bunch of total misfits, I tell you! Some are highly skilled in some areas but lacking in others. Some are well rounded but excel at nothing. All advantages and disadvantages come into play as you enter space with your ship.15:07 C20G - BGM21:30 DJ Daemon: When you finally enter space, all hell breaks loose and the pirates descend upon you. Above all, you must keep always moving. If the ship stops when the pirates damage the engines, you are in a world of hurt. At first the shields absorb the hits from the pirates. That won't last, I tell you. Once the shields cannot fully protect your ship anymore, the internals start breaking down. You must give orders to the repair department to fix all the broken systems. The weapons department must keep shooting at the ships and the others must keep the whole operation going. Messages start pouring in from the departments. They range from friendly at first and get increasingly frustrated as things start falling apart.22:42 Substance - A different kind of power27:46 DJ Daemon: I cannot talk about all the characters, so let me at least mention Boris the weapons guy. Frankly, there is something really weird about him. Seriously, he is nuts and then some. A hardened battle veteran that handles all weapons well, except the blaster. Hint: disable his blaster subsystem if you value your ship. His comments are super funny to read. He might enjoy his job way too much.28:39 Samplemaster - Dream in a nightmare33:12 DJ Daemon: The key to playing the game is to keep reading the messages from the crew, keep moving. You have to disable subsystems to gain speed. Hint from the coach: the Infoscanner can go.34:03 Epicjack340 - Inquire37:48 DJ Daemon: The game is hard but not unwinnable. I had to try several times to actually beat the mission. There are three missions and I was only ever able to win the first one. The controls are easy to understand and manage, but the full control of the ship requires the manual. Here are some things to remember: · Learn keyboard shortcuts. Using the joystick to click around is way too slow. · Keep always going. · Keep track of the messages pouring in. You must react when important stuff breaks. · The "Cravenlator" seems to be joke item. If it breaks, don't bother to repair it. · Disable subsystems that the crew member is not proficient in. Try to assess why you failed to understand how better react next time.38:49 CS-Jay - No cpu today42:24 DJ Daemon: Graphics. Sure, it's great. The characters are well animated, and they show body language that is very expressive. All parts are move and is a information system onto itself. You are in control and jump between different departments to direct and control everything. This game is indeed strong in optics, and the visual style is that of a control panel for a spaceship brimming with reports, information and meters.43:23 Ether audio - Toroidal46:46 DJ Daemon: The sounds are ok. The music is nice and was composed by Ed Bogas. Replay ability? This game is meant to be played repeatedly until you can consistently beat it. The last of the three missions seems almost impossible to beat. But once you do, it's time to move on to another game, I guess.47:52 Dr Robotnik - Bring it back51:10 DJ Daemon happily notes that Revision 2026 has been announced. It's gonna happen!51:38 Beyond - Celestial54:31 DJ Daemon: Leading you into the good night with...54:55 Enacostione - Forever alone57:34 DJ Daemon: tells you talk back on our Discord channel.57:50 Toby Fox - Jewels of the prophecy. Production notes: Continuing the trend of nice game stories in 2026. Also: loads of brand new tracker music.Colophon: None. That's exact name of the game.
