I tend to think Of ShadowRun as a ShadowRun type game.

Yes it is based of the CyberPunk Genre, but also has great amounts of
Fantasy in it and a little bit of Gothic (though not much).

What does this add up to? A different type of game genra - it really doesn't
fit into any type persay - but rather is a mixture of a few.

Also - other games have started to follow suit. Dark Conspiracy is one
and CyberPunk put out a Vampire type thing. Basically what we are seeing is the
lines getting more and more cloudy.
