I. Introduction

Welcome to the unofficial Shadowrun walkthrough. This information is intended
to guide people who either are stuck in Shadowrun, or who have rented it for
two days and need to get through it lickety-split.

< WARNING > This file is essentially an ordered list of spoilers. I take no
responsibility for ruining your fun.

All of the appropriate stuff is copyright to the appropriate people. This
walkthrough was compiled and is maintained by Greg James. Any comments or
corrections are welcome. You can contact me (and get the latest version) either
though e-mail (james@skyler.arc.ab.ca) or through my Web page:

A quick note about me - I don't actually own the Shadowrun cartridge...in fact,
I don't even own a SNES. So, if you have a correction, make absolutely sure
it's correct, because in order to verify it, I'll have to go swipe my
girlfriend's brother's SNES and then go rent Shadowrun from the local video
store. If it then turns out that you're wrong, I won't be pleased.



II. Definitions

Because making an ASCII map is a huge pain in the ass, this walkthrough assumes
that you know where all of the buildings are.

First, we have a list of regions and associated sub-regions. These are all the
places that I talk about in the walkthrough. If you don't know what is where,
it's up to you to find out.

Glutman's building park + water fountain

Anything encased in square brackets [] is optional. Usually it means extra
story context, though it is not necessary to progress in the script.

B. Oh, so this is the rest of the city. I guess I should get some spells.

1. R2 caryards
Talk to people
Learn caryards, matrix, Drake, King
[Buy slap patches from kid after asking about 'Heal']

2. R2 arena
The lineup of opponents is: Gang Member, Heavy Dude, Heavy Dude, Mage, Mage,
Street Samurai, Ferocious Orc, Gang Leader, Troll Decker, (Replicating) Mage.
IMHO, the Gang Leader is the most difficult, since he moves around a lot, and
you lose your tracking.

There are two paths to take here. One involves getting negotiation and buying
your way out, and the other involves killing the King.

Variation 1 (Recommended)
-----------
Win all the arena fights up to and including Ferocious Orc
Save game
Challenge King
If you lose, go get more stamina

You will win 3000Y for killing the King, plus save yourself the Y2000 you would
have paid him to get out. This should allow you to buy mesh armour and a
shotgun almost right away. You cannot fight the King once you've paid him off.

A FAQ respondent has told me that the grenades you can buy from the businessman
(A11) make killing the King a lot easier.

Variation 2
-----------
Talk to arena owner
Ask about negotiation
Pay him 1000Y for negotiation skill 1
Once you have negotiation 3 pay King 2000Y to get out

Purchasing negotiation is worthwhile at any rate.

4. R2 shaman shop
Learn talisman
Get his phone number
Buy stake (if you've got the cash. It will prevent you needing to come
back while you've got a sidekick)

5. R2 street doc
