If anyone's interested, I can upload USA Sega Genesis Shadowrun save-state files with maxed out negotiation, (and I think enough reputation to get into most plot-important places) on all three classes, with extremely minimal cyberware installed on the Street Samurai and Decker, and very very limited plot progression (I think the only plot event is paying Michael's tab at the very very beginning. The game's PDA keeps track of all plot info anyways).
To give an idea, it'd take at LEAST 2 hours of straight farming to hope to max out negotiation and get enough rep. The max negotiation can save (I'm not exaggerating) 100,000 Nuyen on the most expensive item in the game, when jobs can pay anywhere from 15 Nuyen to 4,500, as well as substantially boost profits from selling the loot.
