A very revolutionary game for its time.

User Rating: 10 | Shadowrun 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 an emulator for each and find the roms and just have at it. You will not be disappointed.

What's not to like about this game? You can pick one of three classes to start playing. A fighter type, a wizard type, and a hacker type. Forgive me if I can't get the terminology correct, it's been years since I last played. There's an overarching storyline involved but you can have tons of fun just doing runs and levelling the heck out of your character. Levelling is much easier on an emulator, cuz you can use the frame skip feature and speed it up. Lots of help on those pesky delivery missions.

The constant grind may wear on you, and if you can't stand a little, this game is not for you. But this game was revolutionary for its time and I suggest it to anybody who has any inkling to try this out.
