Am I the only person who REALLY enjoys this game alot...I loved this game since the day I got it...and still play it an awefull lot..but I never really hear many people mention it. There wasnt ever a sequal...or anything...it was really a great game....or at least I think...and I always thought a sequal would be fun....anyone else feel the way I do about this little gem of a game?

I LOVED that game. Thought in my opinion a sleeper hit on either the Genesis or the SNES. I have both copies and still play through them today as well. TOO bad there most likely will never be a sequel to a great game but they make sequels too ones that should of died a long time ago (Tomb Raider, Crash Bandicot, and I know I will get flamed for this one Super Mario).

My friends and I have this theory that a Shadowrun multi-player online rpg would be awesome! I think one of them did some research to find out who holds the license and asked the company, but they said there were no current plans to use it. Kind of sucks.

The SNES version is one of my top 5 games ever.
I know that the company who holds the license(FASA?) is making/helping make Hero-Clix type figures based on the Shadowrun universe, but I'm not sure as to how well they sold at market. If the Gamestops around here are any indication of it, they didn't sell and are on clearance.
I too would love to see something come out of the license in the way of a videogame, but I'm not holding my breath.

Looking around the net, it seems like Microsoft owns all the videogame rights to FASA games (and therefore Shadowrun). Start sending in your letters... ;)
A shadowrun RPG like KOTOR or Morrowind on the Xbox would be awesome as well.

I LOVE the Genesis one..one of my top games of all time! It's one of the few games ever that I've actually completed multiple times. One of hte best action/RPGs ever made! I need to get into the SNES one now......
KILLER KILLER game that deserves a GOOD sequel on a modern system!

I've been meaning to pick this up for quite some time, so if anyone is offering a complete SNES copy, I'm looking ;)
I've never played it but everyone has told me it just kicks massive amounts of ass. I really want to get my hands on a copy.
I picked up a used SNES cart for $13- the (young) clerk had never heard of it. I didnt get a manual so I'm going thru it using an online guide. It's a bit too linear for me & not the best game I've played. A bit overrated, IMO.
I think I read in a recent gaming mag they're planning an Xbox version...

One of my all time favorites for the SNES. The GEN version was a bit odd to me after playing the SNES version so I never got into it as much. 8-)
