Shadowrun 1993

Is it still worth playing?

Beam Software's 1993 cyberpunk fantasy action role playing game for the Super Nintendo, adapted from FASA's tabletop role playing game, set in the year 2050. You play Jake Armitage, a man with amnesia after being critically wounded by assassins, who sets out to uncover his own identity. It combines the statistics of the tabletop game with real time play in an isometric world. A cursor lets you move a pointer across the screen to open doors, examine and pick up objects, talk to characters and use firearms and magic in combat. When Jake hears a new, unusual term it is highlighted and added to a bank of terms you can use in conversations to gain information. You can hire other shadowrunners as henchmen with nuyen, the game's currency. You still get somewhere by talking, with a bank of words you collect and use in conversation.
