Unique style for the SNES. Good use of setting, though some odd choices for certain enemy types. Good art and music, though main theme gets repetitive. Magic outside of heal and invisibility fairly useless and you only have a few combat options other than those. Matrix has a very dull design. Point and click interface can be awkward and unintuitive and not helped by being on the SNES. Asking most questions leads to nonsensical repeated response. A lot of grinding and backtracking. Hiring other shadowrunners to support you will lead to them leaving you after a certain amount of fights based on your charisma skills which can be awkward in a sudden fight and lead to more backtracking to go rehire them (would be nice if they asked for more money before automatically leaving).

Interesting for the time but it makes it difficult to have too much fun with. Genesis Shadowrun definitely has the edge in many ways.
