Shadowrun (Sega Genesis)/Armor

Armor includes all types of armor that can be worn in the game, from plain jackets to full combat armor.

Across the top of each entry you'll see the armor's name, followed by its protective power against weapons and guns, as seen in the game -- a bar graph on the scale of 0 to 8. Don't be confused -- the game uses "weapons" to mean hand-to-hand combat with unarmed thugs and supernatural creatures (hellhounds, etc.) while "guns" indicates the item's defense against any type of firearm. Finally, in the far right corner of the top bar, you'll see the legality status of the armor.

After the top bar, you'll see the familiar stats on how much to sell and buy the item for, where to find it, its in-game description, and my personal notes and recommendations.
