This could (note: COULD) be cool. I remember the Shadowrun on both the SNES and the Genesis. Both were more what you would call an action RPG, but i did enjoy both of them nonetheless. They were actually somewhat open ended for old console games. For those that don't know the Sega and SNES versions differed from each other rather drastically. Not only in presentation, but also play control, story, and everything else.
Also, for those that don't know, Shadowrun is an old pen and paper RPG. I've never had a chance to play the p&p version, although i would like to if ever given the chance. The setting was really great. It's my opinion that it's a well thought out universe.
Shadowrun isn't post apoc, it's cyberpunk. It's universe is based more on major corporations having all the power, and people install "cyberware" to enhance their bodies, and gangs roam the streets.
Anyone who likes cyberpunk, but hasn't played the games should give both of them a try, you might be really surprised. You can mod your guns with laser scopes, silencers, flash suppressors, and even a smart link that plugs right into your head for more accurate shooting. You could also use this "data jack" to plug a cyberdeck into. Then you could log in to computers and hack the system to lets say, crash the security system so you can sneak around insdie one of the corporations without being seen on the cameras or triggering the security alarms.
You could also (in the Sega version) hack data stores and sell corporate data to this guy in downtown Seattle.
Oops! Sorry for going on about it, i forgot all about those games until i saw this thread. Reminded me of old times. I've got the urge to play them again.
