Chapter 31: Shadowrunners are not good people
In the early 90's my family went with a Sega Genesis instead of the Super Nes, so I didn't get to play any
Mario games. No, I had to settle for the Sega Fucking Channel. 50 games to choose from for only 14.95 a month will blot out Yoshi regrets pretty quickly.
Glorious.
Anyway, this obviously meant I came down on the Genesis side of the 'which console Shadowrun is better and why' debate. Flash forward many years later and my desktop computer has died due to either the motherboard or the PSU, and I'm stuck with what my shitty laptop can handle temporarily. An Intel Atom cpu and integrated graphics card should tell you all the you need to know about its capabilities (won it in a raffle). I can't even play Fallout on this thing.
But I *can* get 16 bit emulators to work perfectly on it, and since someone has already done an LP for the Genesis Showdown, and I never played its counterpart...why the hell not?
Posts will vary in size depending on my work ethic at the time. This first one consists of the small group of shots I took before remember to turn off FRAPS framing. Next bunch will look a little less shitty. Promise.
It's a long way down to where our story starts.
Like most old console titles, not much reason to hit the options screen. Tweaking audio was usually the only game in town.
The 'I'm not done yet' protagonist trope long before it was cool. Eat shit New Vegas.
Can't really take the credit for amnesia plot, though.
No matter what type of rpg it is, it always pays to do a inventory/status check first. You can always count on a key item to point the way. Except ARPGs I guess, some of those don't even have inventories.
Hah, I wish.
Space Marines: Blade Runner edition
A smoke-stained jacket and a box of matches. I've started out with worse.
Nothing else to make note of at the moment, no skills, magic or tech.
There's a graphic adventure element to this game that took some getting used to, interacting with the environment is done through this hand cursor. Click on something and a list of actions will pop up.
A warehouse and a club, sounds like we had a fun night before getting geeked.
Unfortunately the scalpel doesn't count as a weapon. I know, I was surprised as well.
'It'll make ya slap happy!'' Disclaimer: Probably not.
"Ho there chummers, do either of you-"
"Eh?"
So yeah that just happened. On the plus side, I'm now free to investigate the office for clues.
Or would be, if most of the room wasn't just background fluff or locked.
And I doubt the mice are in any state to answer questions.
Nope.
Anyone remember the sequences in the early DRIVER games where Tanner got out of the vehicle? Our hero runs just as faggy. I thought the game was skipping animations at first.
Marty McFly?
Gang or hitmen; which is worse and why?
The initial conversation starter-
-and responses you get for choosing Talk are really just ways of introducing bolded words you can then ask for in-depth info about. So far this includes hitmen and firearm.
At the very least I now know that the attack wasn't a case of bad luck. The 'gang' was already after me.
So I've got to figure out who I am, why people are being hired to kill me and where I can get a decent weapon to prevent that.
But first...
In this crazy dystopian world you gotta get your jollies wherever possible. Bonus points if it's at someone else's expense.
Though that might be what the 'gang' thought when they jumped me.
The existence of the Matrix and even the most basic underpinnings of Shadowrun prove you pretty useless then.
What organic compost heap did you crawl out from under?
Most of these random NPCs are of course there for flavor and filler. Trying to ask about various topics you've acquired will just make them repeat their 2-3 lines or toss out an "I gave at the office."
