Shadowrun

Developer: Beam Software

Shadowrun on SNES drops you into a gritty cyberpunk Seattle where exploration, conversation, and tactical combat blend with a top-down perspective. You customize a street samurai-hacker, take on shadowruns, haggle with contacts, and use both firearms and cyberdeck programs to solve missions. Its mix of RPG dialogue trees, inventory-based problem solving, and challenging tactical fights rewards patience and experimentation. Retro sound and pixel art heighten the noir atmosphere, while save-limited progression and tough enemy encounters deliver a classic-difficulty challenge that appeals to fans of old-school, narrative-driven action-adventures.
