Shadowrun (Genesis)

Average Time Completed: Around 18 hours

My target time: around 13 hours(I'm about 5 hours in now, and I'm almost done, so I'll probably beat that)

Friend of mine talked me into giving this game just one more shot instead of replaying the SNES game for the zillionth time, and to try as a Gator Shaman.

First of all, I wanna say this game's got a great soundtrack, which is a really good thing because there's so many games on the Genesis that sound is NES quality. (meh) Seriously, even if you don't think it's great, you gotta admit that it's different in a good way.

ALso, full disclusure, I sped up the game to cut down on a LOT of traveling time. Even with it dear god do you do spend a lot of time just walking around to your next location.

Anyways, this story, like Shadowrun Returns: Dead Man's Switch and Shadowrun: Dragonfall is a tale of vengeance. Your brother and his runners were shot down, and so you spent the last of your nuyun(cash) to head to Washington State to seek revenge.

You head to the hotel he was staying at, and the dwarven inkeeper tells you he'll give you his stuff if you pay his rent, which ends up being 250 nuyun so you go around doing a bunch of shadowruns(ie: mercenary work) to earn it. You get a cyberdeck, a wristband which makes it so if you die you only lose 10% of your nuyun, a couple contacts, and 500 nuyun! Oh irony! :D

when you stay at the hotel the game mentions that some soykaf would hit the spot right now. It's nice how I've played the first 2 shadowrun returns games and now know what the fuck soykaf is. It's artificial coffe!

After doing several missions I went to Seattle, and went to talk to one of the contacts, who said that your brother, Michael was a friend of hers, and Stark, a man you're looking for was his best friend.

I went to Renraku Arcology, and picked up an elf decker as a friend recommended, and bought him some upgrades. Made a good bit of cash out of it. Talked to a Mr. Johnson(person that offers merc work) and got a corporation contact, wj I then talked to and got some electronic lockpicks.

Did some more cyberspace and bought some better spells.

Finally did a Matrix(cyberspace) mission, and a run to get one corp wage slave to another corp where he can be another corporate wage slave(it is a cyberpunk dystopia where corporations run the world after all)

"Slott off, frag-face!"

After way too many repetitive runs, I made it to Tabatha, one of the runners that was with Michael. Asked her to join me, but she said that there's no way, as she's afraid of getting caught in what killed Michael. As of on cue, a bomb goes off, but a holopix(not sure what that is) remained, with a contact from the native american lands. After talking to several people for information on him, and doing more random runs(man is it annoying grinding in this game!) I advanced the plot further and talked to a Johnson named Caleb, who said that he found out about Michaels run from from someone named Frosty, who likely found out from someone else, and so on.

I finally made it to the native american camp, who said he'd give me ANOTHER CONTACT if I find his brother Aragorn. I found him and brought him back. Turns out that the Native American had Stark with him, and they're barely keeping him alive, so I went back to civilization, and talked to a doctor who said that she can help me witha cyber heart, I just have to break into the fuchi building and find it.

I found is and gave it to the good doctor, whose response was to make out with me.(Ok, well hey, I'm not complaining! :D ) She did the surjury, healing stark. Then Stark left without talking to me, saying he had too much to do, but he can be found in the barrens, I found him, and he joined my team for free, wanting vengeance himself. Nice!
