Loosely based on the novel Never Deal with a Dragon, by Robert N. Charrette.

The hilarity of the Johnny Mnemonic movie review aside, the story actually seems inspired by William Gibson's short story title Johnny Mnemonic published via Omni magazine in 1981 and again via his Burning Chrome collection of short stories in 1981. The Johnny Mnemonic movie actually came 3 years after this game.

This game is one of those timeless (although strangely unknown) games, which I so enjoy playing. Set in the 'distant' future, it follows the same path as the movie, no doubt based on this, staring the infamous Keanu Reaves, Johny Mneumonic. Summed up: You got a harddrive in your head, it's costing you a hell of a headache, and damn, you're going to get it out.
Very creative RPG-type level system, multiple weapons, but system of conversations get tiresome. Definitely a game worth playing, but you better be ready to try EVERYTHING to beat it.

Loved this game right from the start when i bought is for my snes 10 years ago for christmas. I bought secret of mana at the same time and shadowrun ranked before secret of mana. i spent all christmas holidays to finish the game.
Unfortunatelly i felt it was a bit short. Nevertheless if there would have been a part2 i would have bought it for sure.
