{"product_id":"shadowrun-genesis","title":"Shadowrun - for Genesis","description":"\u003cp\u003eShadowrun reached the Sega Genesis in 1994, developed by BlueSky Software and published by Sega, bringing a world of corporate cyberpunk and street level magic to a console that had very little like it. The year is 2050, the megacorps rule by the power of information, and everyone is on file in the global mainframe except you and a handful of invisible outlaws called shadowrunners. Shadowrun stands out for how seriously it takes that setting: futuristic Seattle is grim, talkative and full of people with their own angles, and the plot you uncover could destroy the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay is part action game, part role playing game. You take jobs, build a reputation and assemble a crew for each run, teaming up with spell casting mages, deckers wired into the net, and the orcs and trolls of the distant past. Combat happens in real time as you stalk the city, and the runs vary: cleaning up the streets, a big time cyber heist that means jacking into the Matrix, or a risky corporate extraction. The Matrix is its own virtual battlefield, where an encounter with Black ICE may be your last. What you earn goes back into skills and gear, so your runner grows into the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShadowrun is remembered as one of the most ambitious games on the Genesis and one of the finest translations of its tabletop world into a video game. It rewards patience and curiosity rather than reflexes, and players who give it a few hours tend to talk about it for years afterwards. Role playing games were thin on the ground on Sega's console, which makes Shadowrun both a genuinely absorbing play and one of the more desirable cartridges for a Genesis collection with any real depth to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Action RPG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e NTSC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1994\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e BlueSky Software\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Only: No Box or Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease note that this listing is for the \u003cstrong\u003egame cartridge only\u003c\/strong\u003e.
