Sega Genesis Adventure Futuristic Game

Question

I am looking for this Sega Genesis game that is:

  • Isometric View
  • Futuristic style
  • Robots and cyborgs in it
  • Adventure game that you can level up
  • You can use guns and melee weapons

You start as some detective that has forgotten everything. You can search som drawers in the room you are and I remember something about going to a bar where you talk to several npcs there about important quests.

The graphics are not very amazing for late sega genesis games but it is a good game.

Answer

What you're actually describing is the beginning of the SNES version of a game called Shadowrun.

There is a Genesis version as well, but the gameplay and story are entirely different, even though they are set in the same/similar universes.

I believe the SNES version had more of a noir feel, while the Genesis version was far more cyperpunk and some characters were much more obviously cyborg-like; Though both games featured characters with cybernetic implants. (The player character could use cybernetics as well). You could increase your skills in both games, as they were both RPGs. I don't believe the SNES version had melee fighting. I am a lot less familiar with the Genesis version; it may have had melee.


This image is from the SNES version of the game. You start off in the morgue, as a shadowrunner that was presumed dead and left in one of the drawers. You begin play by climbing out. You also visit a bar early on in which you find important information for the story.

Here is a screenshot from the Genesis version, for reference:
