There have been a few other Shadowrun game things materialising over the past few years, such as the deeply disappointing 2007 multiplayer thing.

It is this experience, then, that is the return of Shadowrun Returns. Having tricked him into lending me the console, I played it to completion. Instead I found myself first properly engrossed in Shadowrun's world in 1993, when an RPG based on it arrived on Chris-who-lived-next-door's SNES. Needless to say, the teenage me couldn't actually afford the sourcebooks and so on, because I'd bankrupted myself (and generous parents) on AD&D and Games Workshop stuff.

Dwarves, orks and elves did magic and gun-violence in our dystopian cyberpunk world. Shadowrun, then, was first a pen & paper RPG that did some mildly unusual things with genre conventions in 1989.
