Description

"Shadowrun is a captivating blend of cyberpunk and fantasy, offering an unforgettable action role-playing experience on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Adapted from the renowned tabletop RPG by FASA, this video game version was developed by the Australian company Beam Software and launched in 1993 by Data East. The game’s narrative takes inspiration from 'Never Deal with a Dragon', a novel by Shadowrun co-creator Robert N. Charrette.

As Jake, players will navigate the dangerous and vibrant streets of Seattle in the year 2050, piecing together his past while evading those who wish him dead. Despite its commercial struggles at release, Shadowrun has since been acclaimed as a pioneering force in console RPGs, celebrated for its film noir style and innovative storytelling. Its unique narrative, immersive setting, and compelling gameplay make Shadowrun a must-play for any retro gaming enthusiasts.
