Ok...
Here's the original, unedited,version of the intro text...
A long time ago in a galaxy much bigger than my calves...
There was this game called "Heavy Metal" and life was good.
But then life turned bad so we changed the name to "Metal Tek"...and once again, life was good.
Real good.
Okay, life was still bad so we changed the name to "Riot".
Now life was good, for real this time.
But, as always happens,something just had to screw things up and we needed to change the name again. Okay, we just couldn't control ourselves and we changed it for no reason.
The name would be...
[ SHOGO ]
[ SHOGO ]
[ SHOGO ]
SHOGO
Did i mention the huge email threads about all of these names?
Never mind...
So, you are this dude who lost his brother and girl-friend during some battle.
You're kind a wuss so you haven't really gotten over the whole thing.
But you're a good soldier so the admiral wants you to do some dirty work for him.
That's cool because you get to pilot a cool mecha of your choice.
This should make everything perfectly clear.
Monolith Rulez...
(END)
That got some good laughs.
Well, we'd like to thank all of the great people who "kept the faith".
You know, people like Doug Dyer, Gary Kussman,the online gaming comunity,and of course,all of Monolith.
Doug Dyer says:
"I told you so..."
We'd also like to thank The Anger and The Hurtfulness...
and to those that just didn't quite "get it"...

Hey, did you know you can use the arrow keys,the pause key, and the space-bar during the credits?
Guess we should have told you that earlier.
Oops.
Seriously, though, we had a great time making Shogo.
We hope you have a great time playing it.

Genuinely one of the weirdest games I've ever played, has some pretty cool moments, and the overall gameplay is fun. Just wish it had more variety, alongside the story not being so needlessly all over the place.
Deserves a remake.

Monolith Rulez...
A really buggy game with one of the worst splash damage mechanics ever, but SHOGO has one of those special feelings that only 90's fps's can give, lots of gore and innuendo.
