A Roleplaying game created in 1988 and
set in the 2040'
s to 2060's the game is classic cyberpunk style with the addition of magic, it is characterized by its brilliant concept,
bad 80's movie feel, and impossibly
slow to use game mechanic.
Note: Shadowrun invented the concept of zombies being caused by a disease and not the supernatural.
Shadowrun also invented (in 1988 when the game was first created)the concept of taking a device which looked a lot like a headphone
jack and "jacking in" to an crainially interfaced
computer world with very lifelike avatars and sensations, navigation through a 3D world with visual metaphors for files and programs, fighting "Agents", and hey, does this sound at all like any movies anyone has watched recently?
