System Shock had some of the worst controls ever in a game.

It's a real pity because the underlying game was quite modern for the time.

The problem with the controls was very soon resolved with the arrival of Duke Dukem 3d, which used mouse for moving your view/camera around and keys or right mouse button for moving forward.

System Shock might have done better if it had the Duke3D style controls instead of the awful controls that it had.
