What is Cyberpunk?

Cyberpunk is a science-fiction sub-genre dealing with the integration of society and technology in dystopian settings. Often referred to as “low-life and high tech,” Cyberpunk stories deal with outsiders (punks) who fight against the oppressors in society (usually mega corporations that control everything) via technological means (cyber). If the punks aren’t actively fighting against a megacorp, they’re still dealing with living in a world completely dependent on high technology.

The SNES version of Shadowrun doesn't really give you any idea what the game is

At least the Super Famicom version gave you an idea of what the world looked like

One of the few SNES games I haven't played. Is it worth playing today?

That's tough to say, it's a pretty dense RPG in my opinion. Personally, I think the Shadowrun game on Genesis/MegaDrive was better. They're both RPGs but totally different games.

Damn it, now I need to play Shadowrun again! FYI, Kitsune is the only shadowrunner who won't ever leave you. SAVE the Leather Jacket from the beginning of the game to give her more defense and help her survive.

Also, how dare you.

I love this old art - it has so much character. It kinda reminds me of Paranoia cover art. Similar vintage I suppose

On the SNES cover, I see totems and circuitry. All it's lacking is guns tbh
