I heartily approve of this post. Shadowrun (SNES version) is still one of my favourite games of all time - and it was developed in Australia too (by Beam Software in Melbourne, now part of Infrogrammes). Utterly amazing game that is still ahead of it's time, and the Genesis version was equally good. I think I still have my old SNES cart somewhere buried under other games in my cupboard actually.

So many awesome things about the SNES version especially - waking up in a body bag in the morgue and frightening the mortuary workers, finding you've got a ticking time bomb in your head and have 24 hours to find some way to disarm it, infiltrating the vampire nightclub, and, of course, who can forget the game's ad tagline: "Watch your back, shoot straight, and never, EVER, cut a deal with a dragon!"

It's just a shame the planned sequel never materialized (there was a psuedo-sequel on the PS1 called 'Alien Earth' that was apparently developed by the same team, but it had no actual connection to the Shadowrun universe. And the less said of the 360 FPS with the Shadowrun name tacked on the better.
