Trivia
Be aware that this trivia contains spoilers !
It's interesting to see that the game's plot features some elements that were developed later in the pen & paper game.
For instance, the main plot is about Aneki's corporation trying to launch an AI to take over the Matrix... Those familiar with the pen & paper game will recognize one of the plots of the third edition (published in 1998, several years after the SNES game), featuring a corporation called Renraku. And should I say that Renraku boss' name is... Aneki ?
Sega sub-licenced the Shadowrun IP from Data East. Due to a number of factors, the Genesis version was completely different from Data East's SNES version.
One of the game's characters (in the SNES version), a charming human/fox shapeshifter girl, is called Kitsune. "Kitsune" is Japanese for "fox".
