Many games on the SNES were described as "ahead of their time" but Shadowrun definitely deserves that tag. Despite immense critical acclaim, it actually flopped commercially, proving that the world simply wasn't ready for a game this complicated. It's a shame because this steampunk RPG adventure deserved to have a bigger fanbase.

The cursor system was a bit unwieldy but in the age of D-Pads, it was the best solution. There is hope for the game though - a high-profile Kickstarter campaign raised enough money to create a reboot - Shadowrun Returns. The cult classic original is still worth a look though.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
