I like to collect all information about the Shadowrun SNES Prototypes out there. First a little compare about the Retail releases: The retail release was first in the US on May 93, it follow with the PAL release on August 93 by Laser Beam. Almost a year later the release in japan follow end of March 94. There was also a German PAL release from Laguna (release date?). The other PAL versions are english like the US Release. The japanese version got also a intro. They cut of the Matchbox cheat and you have also the english textboxes with japanese subtitle. Some years ago a PAL Sample was released by Matthew Callis. Its the english PAL Version of the game where still some Text changes unfinished against the Final Version. There is also a US/NTSC Proto out there with more differents to the Final Version. But i never seen that cart.. Some days ago i bought another PAL Sample cart of Shadowrun for the SNES. I compare it with the Version from Matthew, and found no differents. The MD5 Hash is also the same. What is not really unusual because they made more than one cart for testing. I really like to see more Shadowrun Prototypes! If you have more information as me , pics or maybe another Prototype, feel free to post or contact me private. Thanks!
