#Shadowrun

[@robertoliver7368]

One thing about keeping Kitsune, if you keep your leather jacket you can give it to her and it gives her a lot more survivability.

[@leisuresuitlink]

I put in a truly frightening amount of hours in this game as kid. Just trying every keyword on every NPC. My best friend was sure I used a Game Genie because I had Kitsune permanently because I took her to defeat the Rat King. Thank you so much, UCBVG!

[@GandBconnection]

Kitsune can be permanently recruited if you take her and beat the rat shaman and is the only character who can live at the end. Glad you did the same back in the day :D

This game took over my life as a kid. Great game for its time.

[@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control]

This game did NOT help my grades during my freshman year of high school in 1994 one bit lol.

[@lorenmorgan1931]

​@@Stand_By_For_Mind_Controllmao, same here. I was a freshman playing this game too, and I skipped studying for final exams to beat this damn game, and failed to finish a ton of makeup homework. I was always a good test taker, aced the exams, butnot doing the homework caused me to fail. I think I failed two classes that semester, but my memories of this game was so worth it lol.

[@gavinadams4572]

Same here,i was fascinated back in the day by the art in the manual,shadowrun,doom,sf2 and sim city on the snes were my favourites,defined my gaming life.

[@khaimk4r4su]

@@Stand_By_For_Mind_Control i think something similar happened to me the last year before university but with other games hehehe. This might be too (academically) personal but, do you think that these games from our coming of age days are worth the flunking of subjects or getting the lower grade all in the name of having fun? I mean sometimes we might miss a scholarship but damn do finishing those games stays with you forever

[@JWar-]

I rented this game from Blockbuster. After that, I worked all summer with my Grandfather as an assistant installing carpets so I could buy this game. I loved Final Fantasy 2, but a game in a modern setting with dark themes and a cool modern soundtrack really blew my mind. I didn't know video games could be like that.

[@willittolife]

My love of this game knows no limit... the soundtrack by Marshall Parker is so perfectly fitting. I remember reaching out to him several years ago to personally thank him. Super nice guy! Thanks for covering this absolute gem.

I played Shadowrun Returns back in 2013 and had a great time with it. The whole series is so underrated, and there's so much depth here. You're a legend, UCBVG! You've earned MY Karma Points!!

[@Mattsyuk13]

Karma, I started playing this game again when you showed off the infinite money glitch a year ago. You should stream this one! Especially because you now know how to beat it now lol. I saw you stream Shadowrun returns, but I don't think I've seen you play the original.

[@KarmaJolt]

@@Mattsyuk13 HECK YEAH I'm gonna stream this sometime soon! Maybe next month?

[@WalkerMcCaine]

I bought the Shadowrun Returns Remasters and have been playing them a lot recently, I love them

[@Sauvenil]

Dragonfall is the "next" Shadowrun game after Shadowrun Returns... it's GREAT. Recommended.

[@burgertim7878]

Dragonfall is probably the best out of the three.

[@crassbandercoot4343]

I loved this game as a kid. Was my first dystopian retro-futuristic experience. I never ended up beating it because i didnt quite get the mechanics but i will be revisiting it on my jailbroken PSP SNES emulator now that ive got this amazing, wonderful guide to see me through to the end. Youre amazing, UCBVG

[@shawngilmore7536]

Still one of my favorite titles on the SNES when I was a kid! The atmosphere, gameplay, and story were like nothing I had seen before. I still go back and play this about once a year.

[@cerci123]

ahhh same here bro. this game is special

[@scrumbles]

I have so many wonderful memories of this game. It was so unique and still is 30 years later.

[@PaulGaither]

This channel is truly unique on the platform and I appreciate your work so much. The algorithm showed you to me back when you began during the pandemic in 2020 and it has been a blessing. My two "can't wait" videos have now been done: Guardian Legend and now Shadowrun.

[@michaelcharlton5972]

I am so glad that you decided to cover this game. It went criminally unnoticed at its release. I was going to suggest it as your next RPG to cover, but you beat me to it. Something minds something something. 😂

[@CrypticCocktails]

Go crazy?

[@waydbro1]

Dont mind if i do!​@@CrypticCocktails

[@TheRmm1976]

Bought this game on a whim when it came out for SNES... WHAT A GEM! Everything about this game was top notch for its time.

[@Frogomb]

Whaaaat!?! Never expected this one. I was so audibly elated that my neighbor texted me thinking something was wrong. This game kicked off a lifelong love of Shadowrun in me. So much so that I genuinely like the Johnny Mnemonic movie. Thank you UCBVG for another S tier watch.

[@NearLife4life]

This game reminded me of Johnny Mnemonic when I was a wee lad, too.

[@OzymandiasWasRight]

What did you tell your neighbor?

[@DougGlendower]

Johnny Mnemonic is a horribly underrated movie.

[@donskiver]

I actually had this game as a kid. Still have it to this day. (As well as another FASA release, mechwarrior). I remember grinding away to get karma and nuyen so I could 100% the game. Spent countless hours doing it. Don't regret a damn thing. Thank you for doing one of my childhood favorites.

[@tynyetv285]

I just want to say thank you for all the hard work and detail you put into these videos. Shadowrun has been my favorite series since I was 8. I was a backer for shadowrun Hong Kong and can't wait for more. Can't wait for you to do the SEGA version and I can't wait for what else you have planned for us!

[@donskiver]

I second this. Need the sega version now. I didn't have or play the sega version as a kid, but as an adult I played it a bit on emulator and really enjoyed my time with it.

[@tynyetv285]

@@donskiver the SEGA version in my opinion is way more difficult and would take a longer video as the way to earn, and keep money is harder in the beginning and it gets a bit easier as you start earning your rep and getting a good team together. I think the SEGA version could easily end up being 2 with all the grinding and hidden story telling that's in the matrix. There's stuff I didn't find out until I looked it up as an adult.

[@TheFoodieCutie]

@@tynyetv285Sega version was similar I agree. The Returns series was complete tabletop and I didn’t like it as much as the ARPG style of the console versions.

[@Dorelaxen]

Hell yes. Shadowrun is one of my all time favorite games. Fantastic video!

[@jahbecks1154]

Perfect video to take my mind off a bittersweet day today for me while today is my birthday, this is also the same day my dad passed away... birthday's just aren't the same...thanks for this video UCBVG, i can relax andtake my mind off today

I found your channel around Christmas 2022. I finally got through every video and now I'm in the phase where I impatiently wait for the next video release. Love your content!

[@LanEXHikari]

This game taught me the definition of "searching thoroughly" 😱 oh boy how specific some questlines were. Thanks for another great episode!

[@nervaaugustus7089]

Holy cow, I was not expecting this! Glad to see this game get some more attention - this game's take on the Shadowrun setting served as the basis for the modern Shadowrun: Returns, Dragonfall, and Hong Kong trilogy of games, and Hong Kong was my favorite Shadowrun game of all time. Shadowrun SNES isn't the *most* faithful Shadowrun game in terms of mechanics, but in terms of atmosphere and storytelling, it was absolutely the best of its time, and I'm stoked that you're showing this off.

[@davidlangevin8513]

Very happy that you covered this classic. I rented it from the video store when it was fairly new and I've been a huge Shadowrun fanatic ever since. I hope you cover the Genesis version someday. Speaking of the newest versions on Steam, if you have Shadowrun Dragonfall in your library, there's a reboot of the SNES game in the Steam workshop. Players who attempt to play the reboot will have to contend with all the challenges(glitches) that Steam user generated content is NOTORIOUS for. Still cool to play and there are toilets in many of the buildings. Jake even has one in his apartment. Pretty sweet.

[@Mattsyuk13]

UCBVG, I was literally thinking to myself this morning that I wish you'd do Shadowrun. I couldnt believe it when I saw this in my notifications.. I feel like I have superpowers! Thanks for all the hardwork you put into these videos. I'm looking forward to watching this whole thing!

I love your commentary in these videos. The information is always top-notch, you always explore multiple strategies, and your humor is fantastic, topical, and well-timed. Thanks for another great episode, UCBVG!

[@SirGriefALot]

I rented this game as a kid and I had no idea what to even do. But somehow it still seemed like a good game with a lot of thought put into it.

[@matthenneman6180]

It would be amazing to see a genesis one as well. Both games are great in their own right

[@robertoliver7368]

Another thing about keeping Kitsune is that if you beat the Rat Shaman with her and you manage to keep her alive the entire time and then you beat the game with her. She survives with you and you escape together.

[@JoshuaGanoTyraxLightning]

It's not fair that Akimi can't survive too. :(

[@joen8529]

This was one of my all time favorites and appreciate you covering it!

[@Kenshiro3rd]

God I love this game. Have since I was a kid. Such an engrossing game & world. The soundtrack is fricken awesome and atmospheric too. Absolutely love the theme from the Morgue… 3AM on a Summer Night. Actually took the original SNFS for 3AM on a Summer Night & properly mixed it for listening on headphones. It involved doubling the track and panning the duplicat tracks in opposite directions by 50%, in Vegas, to create overlap in the channels, not present in the original SNSF. Without it, it sounded all kinds of wrong over headphones, as you had half the instruments playing In the left ear but not the right and the other half of the instruments in the right ear but not the left. This works on speakers, because of the natural overlap their outputs have… thus mixing them. This isn’t the case with the isolated sounds from headsets phones. Imagine listing to you favorite song but only being able to hear the lyrics in one ear, and the instruments in another. That’s basically what it’s like to listen to the raw SNFS of this game over headphones.

[@michaelsinnreich6626]

Loved this game. Was rough pixel hunting for key items i missed but the engrossing gameplay kept me involved.

[@ARescueToaster]

Thank you for making this video on my favorite SNES game - I never managed to get very far on my own. I sincerely hope you cover the Genesis Shadowrun in the near future!

[@jackylee5850]

Very nice, you covered everything, from the zip gun to the golden naga karma farming, and the infamous vampire money glitch (pretty sure that's not by design) My only gripe is that the assault cannon becomes available way too late, after the volcano. You literally only get to use it once in the Aneki building and that's it, I could have really used that firepower against Drake. Imagine having that beast of a weapon in the early game, you'll be steamrolling through the arena fights unopposed. Alas, all that power, too little too late Just to point out, the Jester cuts Drake's HP by half, that's the main reason for using it That $85k on the 5th floor of Aneki is either a real tease by the developer, an oversight, or they just want to subtly remind you to try out the assault cannon and the full body suit in case you still don't have it by this point, giving you enough to get both in one go The combat feels clunky compared to the genesis version, especially when you need to manually control a crosshair just to aim, while the genesis one just point and shoot after locking on to the nearest target When Cyberpunk 2077 released, I thought it was derived from Shadowrun. Granted there are no dragons, fantasy creatures or magic, but there's a lot of cyberware (though I'm guessing the term is not really exclusive to Shadowrun but the cyberpunk genre in general) and like the snes and genesis game it both features a Japanese megacorporation

[@custardgannet4836]

I love this game. I discovered it in the 90's on emulator. Never got a chance to try it authentic growing up. About 15 years ago I picked up a copy on SNES and gave it a play through. Really liked it. Played through it again in 2020. Now you got me all excited w/ the money cheat and maybe I'll do it again if I don't have to grind up that cash.. ohhh what to do.

From a dialogue standpoint, Shadowrun on the SNES was definitely super immersive and ahead of its time. But I'm more partial to the Genesis version. It may not have had as many dialogue options, but I feel like it played more like a open-ended tabletop RPG, as opposed to the more streamlined action of the SNES version. I'm actually curious to see how you'd approach a walkthrough for an open-ended RPG like Genesis Shadowrun. One that has story progressions but requires a lot of grinding and random quest taking to reach those objectives.

I was running pen and paper Shadowrun 1st and 2nd edition for years, so when the NSES version came out, I was all over it...but it was totally incorrect by the rules. It was as if the developers read a Cliff's Notes version of the world and rules and then told it to kids who told all of it to other developers who actually made the game. Still, it was fun and I really enjoyed it! I still wish they'd reprint the 2nd Ed. books....
