Since I was a kid I have been a big fan of the Shadowrun games for the Sega Genesis and SNES and cyberpunk things in general. In fact about a year or two ago I beat both of those classic games again, emulated on my PC. Around this time I was checking the net to see if there was anything new in the world of Shadowrun and I saw some startup called Harebrained Schemes had made a new shadowrun game on Steam!

It was grate to be back in the world of Shadowrun, with all of the cyberpunk art and culture. I had a great time playing Shadowrun: Dragonfall and after beating it several times with different charaters, I began looking around in the User Generated Content section and seeing that several people have made their own games using the content editor packed with the original game. A lot of these user uploaded games were also really fun to play. Eventually I beat all of the stories that interested me and started checking out the content editor.

What started out as just some simple experiments quickly turned into me writing a whole story. One of the things I liked most of the old (SNES & Genesis) games was that you could make a lot of different choices in how the game progressed and the worlds were very open. I wanted to try to make that the focus of my game. The result of my work is a game called Shadowrun: The Anarchy Wars

With out giving too much away,

"After a job goes south in Chicago you flee from the UCAS (United Canadian American States) Army to Pittsburgh, an area where there is no established government or UCAS control. You have a buddy there that says he can get you work and help get you set up in the city."

You'll need to download Dragonfall in order to play my game, but trust me, it will be more than worth the $15!
