Shadowrunners may not be very good heroes, but at the end of the adventure, the world was a better place. Even if it just meant the bad guys were dealt a setback. Shadowruns are crimes because laws are broken, but in most cases they were commited in extra-territorial terrain, and "didn't count". Lone Star was full of inept racists, but they kept their jobs because the government was frankly vacant.Corporations ran the world, and resisting them was fun. Humanis was the enemy, Aztechnology was irredeemably evil and bugs didn't have civil rights. No human with a silly name like Spinrad could repeatedly thwart Lofwyr and get away with it.SR1 was not realistic, and yeah it becomes more unrealistic the more real technology outpaces 1990, but that's part of what made it fun. The more realistic you make it, the more unrealistic it becomes, for the simple fact that realistically the corporations could stop nearly any group of runners. Lone Star could catch them easily.</blockquote>
