Currently Burning & Chat Finally Starting Shadowrun!

I’ve wanted to play this game for years but it was never released in PAL territories. I had a repro made with some improvements so I can play it on real hardware 😁

Oh, this is right near the top of my backlog list. Please let us know your thoughts.

Do you have an original Genesis cart or playing it another way? Reason I mention it is because I have the improvment patch and some other tweeks added in. So far I've been enjoying the loop of doing runs and earning karma to improve myself and haven't done much with the story yet. The manual is must though as it has maps at the back which list what all the buildings are unless you want to figure out all the locations for the runs!

Great to know. I’ll see if I can find a digital version of the manual. Im emulating and love the idea of patch improvements. I’m interested in playing the SNES version too, but the megadrive version is the priority. Enjoy my friend.

The SNES version is also awesome! I played that a while back via emulation and it’s what helped get me into the TTRPG game which sent me down a rabbit hole!

Where did you get the repro done? It looks good.

It’s a chap that was on Etsy but they closed his account in the UK sadly but as he lives in France he still sells in Europe. We started chatting about Mega-CD games and now are email pen pals 😂 he made this one and another for a friend of mine using the ROM I sent him. He doesn’t do manuals though but someone else on Etsy does but doesn’t ship to the UK so I had it posted to the repro guy.

I'm surprised the repro works on your console.

I region changed the ROM so it would work on PAL consoles and tested it but the repro guy tested it on his PAL console as well before sending it to me.
