I know, I own it for Genesis and SNES. I had never heard of a PC version though, which is why I asked.

I know I'm in the minority here too but I liked the SNES version better.

I've heard that from a couple people. I only played the genesis version. I still remember the cheat code by heart too ABBACAB at the shadowrun screen

 

[Blue Wizard]

I was hoping you had played the SNES version. That way I could have someone else to talk to about the joys of grinding zombies in the vampire's castle, until I maxed my level and completely geared out myself and the two best runners in the game.

I gave up the computer games a few years ago but still love the old Command and Conquer Red Alert games. Now I occasionally will turn on the PS3 but guess I am getting old. Just doesn't hold my attention like it used to.

 

[Krondizzel]

Yep. After a while, you've just got other projects to take care of so it's hard to dedicate any time to get good at the game.

Crazy, with fo3 and di in your list, I figured you of all people would have liked it.

Have you tried the second one? It's a lot better in certain aspects than the first one.

Also, I saw skyrim missing from your list! You have to try it out! I would play it with all the DLC that is available at first. Then try a second+ go around with mods.

The mods for skyrim make it very, very awesome.







The borderlands games are first person shooter RPGs that are cell-shaded.

They have a lot of humor, sometimes dark, mixed in.

They are like the diablo games with loot. Lots of loot, the different colors for different levels, with varying stats.

Your character has many levels to gain and skill trees. Inventory system, ect...

Here's a youtube vid of BL2 to show you a little about it, skip to around 7:00 for some fighting and them some hilarity:

I wish they would remake shadownrun for the computer.

What up kron, they actually did make a couple different shadowruns for PC.

There's the first person shooter one they made back in 2007. It's one of the few games that has cross platform multiplayer with the xbox360.


And then there's a newer one that's more like the old 3/4's overhead view called "shadowrun online". Not sure how it is though. It has a free version with microtransactions, and a paid for version. I'm not sure what to make of that....I would have to try it before I knock it.

I heard they were going to make a new shadowrun but it lost funding or something like that?? I wish they would remake a bunch of old sega games, same game, just newer graphics on for the newer console games. Would take me back in time for a little bit

 

[blacksun]

Here's the most recent video I could find of that newer one, shadowrun online...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZ1BNvm29qU

It reminds me more of the older fallouts than it does the original shadowruns on sega and snes.

Apologies for all the yt links btw, it's an easy way to show gameplay.

Does anyone use the DS3 tool to use ps3 or xbox controllers on the pc?
trying to find a decent game to use it on, prefferably a driving type game.
I got WRC 3 and am trying to use the ps3 control via DS3 but don't know how to configure it on the actual game.

UO and Darkfall were my favorite games.

Trying to get my gf to play UO with my right now hehe, just on UOGamers, not going to sub to the origin version as it's changed so much from what I remember.

I used to rule at UO until they came out with those secondary abilities that you had to have INT for. My STR/DEX'er was unstoppable until they released a patch. Got tired of it. Never again will I play.

If you guys like Diablo 2 you will probably enjoy Path of Exile. They just opened the Beta yesterday... free to play. It's a lot like D2, only with different features lol. There is a 1,300+ passive skill tree. I think everything is socketed, but the sockets have colors, and gems level. I just started so not sure the other things to it. Seems like fun.... worth a look.

Also relating to an earlier post on it Call of Pripyat is a really nice game visually. I didn't have too much fun playing it, but wandering around looking at the scenery was nice.
