Shadowrun page from a Nintendo Magazine System preview (issue #11, August 1993). Every few months, I get to urge to play the\u00a0Shadowrun\u00a0SNES game on a handheld, which isn\u2019t going to happen until series creator Jordan Weisman tracks down the rights. :o/

The screenshots shown on the left side of the page are from the Game Boy edition of Shadowrun that Beam Software created but never released. It was a sidescrolling platformer in which you played a Street Samurai \u2014 psyche, that\u2019s actually Edd the Duck, a game based on the BBC character and released by Beam\u2019s subsidiary Lazerbeam.

The SNES Shadowrun was a cool game (except wandering all the fuck over the world trying to figure out who taught Negotiate). Pen & paper Shadowrun looked kinda terrible (a lot ‘cuz of their D6 for everything fetish) but with the BBS conceit it had the best supplement books I’ve ever seen. To this day I think Corporate Shadowfiles is a perfect introduction to corporate finance.
