  IF YOU MISSED THIS...

  By Cryptobadger | Review Date: Nov 02, 2005 | GEN

  jump on ebay right now and buy a genesis and this cart. You need this game. Long before GTA was pushing the non-linear-storyline envelope, this RPG had the fully explorable city thing already going for it. No deadli... Read Full Review

  Just plain cool on so many levels.

  By Crush_Project | Review Date: Sep 10, 2010 | GEN

  This game was lengthy, had depth, was true to the game they took it from (which was the sickest rpg ever conceived after cyberpunk which was the pen and paper game that got banned), each class was very different, and pla... Read Full Review

  A very revolutionary game for its time.

  By zornundo | Review Date: Oct 06, 2009 | GEN

  I still can't believe they made a Genesis and an SNES version of Shadowrun, with both games being wildly different from each other. I rented each, certainly more than once each, when they came out. I suggest you go find ... Read Full Review

  Great game. One that you played over and over again...

  By swr1ght | Review Date: Mar 01, 2008 | GEN

  It was always painful to me that a great game named Shadowrun came out for the Genesis, and a mediocre game named Shadowrun came out for the NES. I say painful, because since the vast majority of people had a Nintendo s... Read Full Review

  My favorite 16-bit game.

  By jasondabold | Review Date: Oct 13, 2007 | GEN

  Just a pre-cursor to my short review. I'm a bit biased when it comes to 16-bit. I didn't own a Super Nintendo until much much later in life. I played a little of that version of the game and I still take to the Sega's st... Read Full Review

  Computers, magic, guns, bounty hunting? All in one game? Great game. Worth having a Genesis. Need to remake THIS version

  By Mistymaster | Review Date: Jul 31, 2007 | GEN

  When a game not only entertains you but also educate you without you knowing it, I think that this was a game that's worth looking at. It's one of the few reasons I keep my Genesis. I've heard about the new remake and sa... Read Full Review

  Have you ever been in a game that had it all, but still felt like it was missing something huge?

  By majorpain10000 | Review Date: Jun 27, 2007 | GEN

  Shadowrun, is a great game no doubt, but it lacks so much. The graphics are terrible like a cheap nickelodeon cartoon. I have seen Gameboy pocket games that could hold better graphics with a 6 bit engine. Stating that th... Read Full Review

  This game sucks so much you'd think it was a lemon.

  By Boostinsane | Review Date: Jan 05, 2007 | GEN

  Wow. This game, Shadowrun, is not only unbelivebly confusing, it's also a complete waste of time and money. The game is so difficult and annoying. I gave up on this game after the first stage, man. By all means, please a... Read Full Review

  A cool futuristic RPG game.

  The best futuristic RPG known to man.

  By ghangiskhan1 | Review Date: Apr 21, 2006 | GEN

  Shadowrun is a game few have really heard of. It is on both Snes, and Genesis. The game was released in 1993. It is a very good game, in fact one of the best on Sega Genesis. Shadowrun is a futuristic RPG. To be exact, t... Read Full Review
