Shadowrun Sega CD English Translations thread

[5thWolf]

Just throwing this thread out there for keeping track of this game. I know there is no finished translation but this is a good spot for people to dump info & links.

• SHADOWRUN
  • This Redditt thread links to a hinted Shadowrun translation from Iwakura.
  • Here is a NEOGaf thread showing progress by Iwakura from 2012

I've wondered what the SegaCD Shadowrun would be like (hopefully more content and great music). This is one translation I'm looking forward to.

from Iwakura

So, it will be finished in 20 years?
Just kidding. Their Fate CCC translation is great.
I'd be very grateful to whoever translate this game.

A Sega CD game, from 1996?? Didn't know it lasted that long. Than again, I'm in the West.

And that artstyle, was it the same artist that did the Groove on Fight series?

I remember I used to read the news and progress reports on Iwakura's blog regarding this translation...
It's on my "I hope I'll be able to play it someday but I don't keep my hopes up" list, just like Surging Aura and Miegakure.

Consider me hyped I wanted to play this for a long while. Sadly my Japanese ain´t that good.

If this ever gets done I'm definitely playing !
I mean I already gave the click and point SNES version during middle school days and the Sega CD version has always had me intrigued
Can't wait !

The genesis version is the closest to being PnP accurate that i can tell. Actually reading the 4th Edition Shadowrun book explains how the system works and the game makes more sense!

The SNES version was.... 'everyone stands in place and shoots with guns' (exceptions in the arena). The genesis version you had implants for melee, shotguns, handguns, silencers, and missions to do (infinite missions), and cyberspace that's complex and interesting.

It takes about a week to beat the genesis version. And it has a interesting story and hidden tidbits like messages from Sega/FASA
