  • Yes, it’s great, one of my favourites on the Sega. Far more fun than the SNES adventure game.

    I start as a decker. I think he might move a little faster to begin with which helps keep ahead of the gangs in the starting area. When they come, you can zig zag away from them to stay ahead, just keep doing that having them chase you around town in circles, taking pot shots when it’s safe. Some of the gangers drop medkits when they die, I sell these to more quickly get a better gun/armour.

    There’s no value to killing civilians, you might even lose karma, just don’t do it.

    With the shadowruns, just keep walking into Mr Johnson’s booth, if it’s a ghoul run, cancel the conversation and walk back in again. Most of the runs offered should be simple escort missions or courier jobs.

    Once you get some karma and boost some stats a bit, and buy a better gun, you’ll have more survivability. Then you can take on some ghoul runs, which are the easiest way to make quick cash early on - get your negotiation up a few points and only take the run if it pays okay. Don’t bother taking a run that pays 15nuyen per ghoul for example, that’s a waste of your time.

    Don’t upgrade your pistol/shotgun/SMG skills. Only upgrade firearms. The sub categories of firearms will go up to whatever your firearm skill is when you do upgrade it. (ie If you put a point in pistol, then you will continue to raise that skill as usual. But if you get firearm up to level 10 and then upgrade pistol, or smg, or shotgun, it will go straight to level 10 as well)

    You can pretty easily get the Ares Predator after not too many simple runs. You’ll get familiar with so the places doing these runs, but:

    Shiawase nuke plant = South

    Halloweeners = South East

    Chop shop = East

    Abandoned building = north East

    Prison = west

    Coffin motel = centre

    Weapons shop = centre/east

    The two pubs are north west

    Boris greenhouse = north/north east

    One more place south west, can’t remember what they call it
