I have the shadowrun returns games and the shadowrun online (chronicles) whatever game.

Of the two I prefered Chronicles, but neither scratched the itch that the Sega Shadowrun started.

Didn't even really have any cyberspace at all!!

Seriously the formula in the sega game was just about perfect, you had normal missions and VR missions, and deckers, shamans, Samurai etc all had their own specialities etc.

There was no riggers, but all you have to do is expand on the original game and you could make something amazing.

I should have coded one 20 years ago when I was still making games, coding on muds etc, but I'm way out of practice and not up on the new languages (And I hate java). Also generally have always loved side scrolling rpg/adventure games the most, so I'd probably make my game in that genre (but still use shadowrun as the theme, karma to upgrade stats/abilities etc, and a variety of characters you can choose to play as).

That would be far harder to code then a simple upgraded/extended version of the original Sega shadowrun. You could make a flash game...quickly...that did that. Post it on kongregate and possibly if it's popular enough eventually sell it on steam (also sell upgrade/unlockable content on kongregate as well).

Just saying, any coders out there, you'd make bank and wouldn't need to work too hard!
