Yes! Well, not exactly: play the Enhanced Edition [0], which modernizes only the mouselook, keyboard controls, and compatibility, but leaves all other aspects unchanged.

Frankly, there's even value in the actual original version, in that the alien control scheme really makes one feel as though one's piloting some sort of unwieldy vehicle. It's ludonarratively consonant with the hacker-main-character struggling with the military-grade neural hardware he received in exchange for jailbreaking SHODAN, and kicking off the story.

The remake version does away with a bunch of weapons, and rejiggers inventory to be in the style of System Shock 2 which utilized a grid, a la Diablo or any number of others These are minor changes, but they really repulse me. The original could easily deal out "unbalanced" or unusual encounters because of the incredible variety and amount of inventory cruft one would collect -- grenades, drugs, all the different ammo types.
