Shadowrun is a 1993 cyberpunk action RPG developed by Australia’s Beam Software and published by Data East for the SNES. Adapted from FASA’s tabletop RPG of the same name, it is set in 2050, blending tech and magic. Players control amnesiac Jake Armitage, who survives an assassination attempt, to recover his memory, uncover conspiracies, and fulfill his mission. Featuring an isometric perspective, the game lets players explore, interact with NPCs, fight, and cast spells. Its unique dialogue system adds new terms to a glossary for further NPC inquiries to advance the plot. Critically acclaimed upon release, it is a landmark console RPG and a pioneer of film noir style in gaming.
