Moo?
Enjoy!

*Whisper* *Whisper*


bf7GW.jpg
Yeah, sure. Hey Dumbledore you holding any pipe-weed?



Y6ArR.jpg
The courtesy...of this hall is..somewhat..lessened of late.



i7VY6.jpg



Gained primo Longbottom Leaf!


bf7GW.jpg
I don't believe it.



Never underestimate the strength of a good narrative.





pMCz0.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
Want to smoke it and download some music on Drake's nuyen?



You mean 'on his dime'.



bf7GW.jpg
What's a dime?





And yet he gets my references...wouldn't a place like this be networked?



bf7GW.jpg
Only one way to find out.


E1euf.jpg




It's connecting to a volcano lair. I think we may be fighting a Bond villain.



bf7GW.jpg
If Fox is my Bond Girl someone's going to die.



UVh3m.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
The phonebook spelled my name wrong.


Even the government gives you no respect. No respect at all.



bf7GW.jpg
Story of my life!

I understand why Drake destroyed Matrix Systems now; he was too cheap to simply buy their shit defenses. This is sad.


oi6OC.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
Nice fireworks though.



WHrBw.jpg




Phonebooks are just trash data, they exist to clog up your storage. So...don't keep clicking on the port?


3bs1l.jpg




Well whatever you did worked.



bf7GW.jpg
I was trying to connect to Valu-Torrent. Stupid archaic system.


xT624.jpg



Dpnv7.jpg



Twu79.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Anders?!


We are going to need a lot more pipe-weed.



VCP3C.jpg



Get in the elevator! Move!



C5Wrh.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Am I the only one who doesn't have clones at their disposal? Throw me a bone here.


*Snerk*



bf7GW.jpg
What are yo--oh shut up. Slip of the tongue.



gpR8V.jpg



So Drake has his own private army of Samurai Warriors. No way in hell you're taking on all four at once.


bf7GW.jpg
Kinda figured, I'm so full of lead if I jumped up and down it'd sound like a piggy bank. We need a strategy to make it past those guys.



How many similarities do you think they share with Anders?



bf7GW.jpg
If we ask them real nice maybe everyone will drop their pants and compare sizes.



Not like that smartass. Go back up and be ready for my signal.


OMIfZ.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Ow ow owowow ourplansalwaysinvolvemebeinghurt!




Throw the pipe-weed and run!




(Remember how I said during the Duplicating Mage's battle that moving around became a pain due to twitching every time you're hit? Multiply it here, Jake resembles a slideshow)



bf7GW.jpg
Phew. That was your plan? There's not enough for all of them.



Exactly.



VbNiZ.jpg





Step 1: Sit back and watch them turn on each other for the chance at sweet stress relief.



nP90S.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
I had a relaxing afternoon planned around that stuff, y'know. Salsa, those chips shaped like scoops, hmm...



Speaking of snacks, here comes Step 2; dealing with the munchies!




4mX6M.jpg
Hey man you got any food? I'd kill for a microwavable burrito.



Qptmr.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
Sorry, fresh out. But have some of this.



4mX6M.jpg
Oh so not cool!




NjCgR.jpg



rxLj0.jpg



If we can't beat them as one, divide and conquer wins the day.



4mX6M.jpg
Dude you're harshing my hard-won mellow.



bf7GW.jpg
Quit complaining, thanks to you lugheads I didn't get any.


AaIFC.jpg





lQp4O.jpg



WiGm4.jpg



All of them connect to his volcano base.



bf7GW.jpg
End dungeon ahoy!



Well, yeah, but shouldn't that be limited to specific terminals? It seems haphazard for every computer to have a direct route.



eQKU8.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Maybe they figure increased security nullifies the risk. This is new.



MSN2W.jpg



gs6zC.jpg




Starting with systems like this you'll usually encounter barriers guarding the core data block, forcing detours to secondary blocks. One of the packets on a secondary block will open the barrier, signified by 'Lines Opened'.


It's a defense that lures you into additional IC battles and scanning more junk data, either of which can lead to disconnecting.

vIThm.jpg




See? Now the way is free and clear.


k5VIy.jpg



Minus the ICs hiding in wait, natch


jPyKs.jpg



TvzEQ.jpg



Success!


M7xWe.jpg




Looks like you're going to need to hack the elevators every time we want advance a floor.


lsExf.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
Then now is a good opportunity to dump some skill points and get a little rest.


nPUhg.jpg



CygqD.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
I know digital kung-fu. Woah.


9iQky.jpg




KsCT0.jpg



It pays to check every computer on a floor for access, don't stop just because you've found the elevator override.



2m2a4.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Open up baby, you know I'll be good to you.



NyJ99.jpg



iLpux.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
Aw why you gotta be like that?


fa9Gt.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
It's more fun if you're working with me than against me, baby.


NueY1.jpg



SUvsC.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
I knew you'd come around.


WO2Mn.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
I'll be in touch, promise.



wnUWa.jpg



Was that really necessary? Could swear I heard Marvin Gaye playing in the background.


bf7GW.jpg
Which song?



All of them.


bf7GW.jpg
Did it make you uncomfortable?



You have no idea.



wi4QP.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Then yes it was absolutely necessary. Stop getting me shot all the damn time.



RNZhh.jpg




FBmQk.jpg



dkxrj.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
The other pieces must be scattered across the building network. I have a lot of work ahead of me.



If you're done mentally sexing up Drake's mainframe, check out our nuyen balance.




bf7GW.jpg
!!!


tC8qu.jpg





fFQat.jpg




ZQzNo.jpg



OaDys.jpg



dmHge.jpg






OkiRO.jpg





cJdZS.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
And I will appreciate the view.


What would the Naucas-S437 think of you checking out another woman's IO port?


bf7GW.jpg
Think she'd be into a threesome? Her code read kinda freaky.



Ugh.


bf7GW.jpg
Don't start what you can't take.



ysSo4.jpg




yxSMQ.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
With the passion and heat of thousand burning suns.


cFqda.jpg
'Yes' would suffice, Jake.


dqVsp.jpg



Hn9bF.jpg



cFqda.jpg
In a minute this is really going to hurt.


bf7GW.jpg
GrhnkHAAaa- *Huff*


cFqda.jpg
Alright, I lied, it was more like the next few seconds. But not being tensed up saved you a lot of pain in the long run.



NBGKd.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Been there, done that. The place was filled with dicks before and after the attack.



YkIr7.jpg




Doc at this point you could offer something for 100,000 and Jake would probably find a way to scrounge up the money.


bf7GW.jpg
Hell yeah, he's done right by me.


2Y4eq.jpg





HC5tV.jpg




...the fuck just happened? I blinked and he's dead!




bf7GW.jpg
I'm SO happy! :desu: Best purchase ever!



xnbNR.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
And I think the fine folks here at Aneki should be the first to see it. They've been so good to me in the past.


MKoGv.jpg



Um, but what about the raid?



bf7GW.jpg
Thanks to my new reflexes this will only take a second.

Just curious, do the neural boosters have an effect shown in some stats, or what?

They increase the fire rate of any weapon to a ridiculous degree, basically turning Jake's T-250 into a shotgun uzi. As for stat changes I don't believe so. Pure gameplay benefit.

Insert clever insult here
Watch out though - some ROMs are bugged, meaning that the best armour and weapon never show up. I've twice run into that problem. It doesn't prevent you from finishing the game, just makes it more difficult -
especially if you want to keep Kitsune alive to the end.

Sex in a Nintendo game? :M

No, she won't. I've read rumours that she was supposed be to far more flirty with Jake but that was cut - either because it didn't fly with Nintendo or because of size/space issues.

Anyway, you bastard made me start a new Shadowrun game. Thanks a lot!

Next update in two days. Enjoy!









JBPYM.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
A better man would announce his presence and not take the opportunity to put three slugs in someone's back.



66pLJ.jpg




But Runners usually get that brand of stupidity beat out of them.




JhBG0.jpg
.....



DkzuU.jpg
He killed the captain!



DkzuU.jpg
Oi, I never much liked him. Couldn't remember my name.


DkzuU.jpg
Get'em anyway!




sh7bN.jpg




DkzuU.jpg
Follow me lads!



rRio8.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
By all means do as he does.


htSSE.jpg




Well that was over almost before it started. What's next for your particular breed of overkill, lasers?


5UuKA.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Not enough research credits, figure I'll kill a Muton and take his.



JmIZK.jpg



They carried plasma weapons and those are probably in short supply here.



bf7GW.jpg
Look at this place; If we didn't know any better you could make an argument for us being inside a saucer.



Drake and Aneki do have a thing for high tech ostentatiousness.

59qqJ.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Who's to say there aren't laser guns packed away in some corner, crying out to be liberated from their cruel and uncaring masters?



3umlM.jpg



82cRp.jpg




Amazing, Aneki truly are the pinnacle of technological development. A gate...and no unprotected block nearby with the password.



bf7GW.jpg
Worthy foes indeed.



RgrlC.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
Guess it's back to masterminds who haven't discovered retardedly simply defense concepts yet.



KAlq5.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Never gave it much thought, but should I really be sleeping here?



50 nuyen isn't a bad price for convenience.



bf7GW.jpg
No I mean the owner established that A) other Runners come here, B) he has no control over them and C) I may have a price on my head.



I wouldn't worry about someone killing you in your sleep.



bf7GW.jpg
Why?



Because I watch you while you sleep.



bf7GW.jpg
That is all kinds of creepy, man.


EcREr.jpg

Never speak of that conversation again.



Gotcha.


bf7GW.jpg
Brrrrr.



8qjdU.jpg



The second floor of Drake's building has transformed from posh corporate office into silent charnel house.



bf7GW.jpg
It gives a man satisfaction to see jobs well done.


AQjOl.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
For those of you who heard the rumors, I am sorry to say free samples of Longbottom Leaf are no longer available.



4mX6M.jpg
4mX6M.jpg
4mX6M.jpg
No!!!



IQN1d.jpg
...surrounded by idiots.



aKJ31.jpg



myVxs.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
They say while running in the opposite direction.



G6KbF.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Wait, everyone here except the Mage is wearing shades.



*Blam* *Blam*




4mX6M.jpg
Not me numbskull!



J14HN.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Now that one had kick. What, pre-Collapse stock from Mustang Arms?



4mX6M.jpg
Uh yeah. Warehouse raid a few months ago turned up whole caches of quality stuff.



yGnHR.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Good to know. Yoink!



WaLlY.jpg



Mustang Arms: When you wish to proclaim The Bomba is in your pants.



I4sUp.jpg



f3lYi.jpg




Aneki possesses top-notch security but for my money volcanoes are still the better investment.



bf7GW.jpg
I suppose if it fails you have more important things to worry about than a crappy stock portfolio.


S8zDk.jpg



zzwt3.jpg




zrjxi.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
Another fragment.



It's like a RAR file you have to kill people to complete.


56WW6.jpg



u44jV.jpg



fsFh1.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
Well that was useless and painful.


K8lFH.jpg



You give yourself too little credit methinks.



bf7GW.jpg
Apparently. Find me something I can use to ground myself, my right leg is still twitching.



kq7Qu.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
.....




7sF1U.jpg



mX7iu.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
Suddenly I have this incredible urge to hire as many people to accompany us as possible.




3PREn.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
So let's get right on that.




7JTG2.jpg



EUpjT.jpg



jY8zJ.jpg





YxB0C.jpg




What would it be like if Anders was born with magic? This guy.


oe03P.jpg



Similar to Jagadance, Magi-Anders's weapon skills are complete and utter bunk. Hamfist or Orifice could probably feed him his face.


r9IPI.jpg



But also like Jagadance there's the mystical side to consider. Magi-Anders has way more MP than the vidphone humper, plus his spells are a higher level to boot. Add in twice the amount of HP and you've got a winning combination.


aN25G.jpg




He even shares Ander's brusque on-the-job personality.



bf7GW.jpg
Make sure we never give him any of the good stuff. I don't know what a weepy Mage is like but I'm sure it's trouble. Of the magical tactical nuke variety.



dxwtz.jpg



ddtnF.jpg
At the end of our contract I would appreciate if you, the contractee, could fill out a small survey stating your satisfaction wi-



bf7GW.jpg
Fall in line, scab.



ddtnF.jpg
Yessir. Good to be working with you again.


HPS8V.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
"No", he says, "Jetboy's a drekhead. Anyone but him." Stupid Magi-Anders. If I want your opinion I'll give it to you...in the nicest way possible that won't make you blow me to pieces.


ddtnF.jpg
Who?




5kISJ.jpg




bf7GW.jpg
Ugh, yes I'd be thrilled to have you...join our Running Crew.


9UFXy.jpg



bf7GW.jpg
And so the aural pain begins.



M6Z74.jpg



Ten less HP than Frogtongue (who is just a freak of nature), and an Uzi instead of a Rifle.



dVgpN.jpg




And a sky high Firearms skill. Think that ties or beats Anders.


l3TCa.jpg




Say hello to the calber of Shadowrunner Drake likely used to gut Matrix Systems and salt the earth.



8dQye.jpg




Hello little crazy man. Please don't point that my way.



sPfZV.jpg



uR1KD.jpg




ddtnF.jpg
Ah, Magi-Anders. I get it now! Never thought about him that way.



IQN1d.jpg
?


sZydr.jpg


bf7GW.jpg
Gentlemen, the objective of this Run is simple; kill everything that moves within the building. If you don't like the look of something that doesn't move kill it too. We are being very thorough.

Anyway, you bastard made me start a new Shadowrun game. Thanks a lot!

EDIT: for those who missed this the first time around, here's the LP of the Sega version:
http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...-got-a-lot-of-greasing-to-do-shadowrun.61375/


Here are a couple pics of the uncensored version:

http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/shadowrun/shadowrun.htm (near the bottom)


I actually took the 'snuggle down' shot from that page and put in the LP instead of the tame version. I tracked down the beta rom around the 6th update and debated whether or not to start over and play through using that but decided not to. One big difference is the number of cars regularly driving in the neighborhoods. You have to look out or you're street pizza.




When my old computer died and I was looking for something simple to LP I initially planned to do the Genesis Shadowrun till I noticed we already had one. After this one I'm thinking I might do Nightshade or Cobra Mission.
