A Night's Work (Shadowrun promo, 1990)

FASA's 1990 promo video for their Shadowrun RPG. Thrill to the production values! Soak up the 80's ambiance!

This is not my rip, but I do own a copy of the video in question. Since FASA is - sadly - no more, and since this was rarely seen outside GenCon 1990 and the game's press kit, I thought I'd do my part in archiving a bit of gaming history before the tapes die of bitrot.

I kept expecting everyone to spontaneously start having sex.

Their mission is to steal the upcoming New Kids on the Block album encoded with a secret technology known as "MPEG-1" and then release it pirate networks on the World Wide Web aka the Information Superhighway.

This is so amazingly bad, but I can't help but watch. I LOVE Shadowrun and I consider it one of the best RPG's to date. Its one of those games where story and system mechanics meet in a marital bliss. 4th Edition is by far the best. Bravo to this game. Hemmmmph to this promo.

Even though this is lame, I miss growing up in the 90's when cheesy stuff like this was everywhere.

Is that a PS/2 port in her head? That's the future!

You deserve the "Best Comment Ever Award"

It's awful even for a low budget early 90s amateur film. Le FROMAGE.

Got love for the RPG: The crew, Dices, Beer, 420 and munchies
