Sega Genesis
Shadowrun
The year is 2058. Following an event known as the Awakening, magic has returned into the world. Native American shamans and elves reclaimed a vast area known as Salish-Shidhe, located around the free city of Seattle. A small team of shadowrunners - mercenaries working for powerful corporations - is brutally attacked in the wilderness. The massacre is captured in video and broadcast in the news. One of the slain shadowrunners, Michael, had a brother named Joshua. Arriving in Seattle, Joshua begins to investigate his brother's death. He must find out who killed Michael, and what was the nature of the shadowrun job he was carrying out. The Genesis version of Shadowrun is a darker and grittier version of the universe. While still heavily based on William Gibson's Neuromancer, the story revolves around the murder of the protagonist's brother. Shadowrun for the Genesis is a more open ended game than its counterpart on the SNES.
