So I assume that's Sally Tsung, Dodger, and Ghost on the cover.

Who's the fellow with the beard using his cyberdeck as a club?

That's pretty slick looking. I'd like to grab that when the cred rolls in.

Random Dwarf, I think.  I'm assuming that's his control rig deck, and not a cyberdeck, since it's 1st ed, so that means the Dwarf is teh Rigger :)

I wondered where Kham was, but I suspect that since Kham wasn't in the original SR1 pic, he got forgotten when tehy were doing art notes for this cover.

Ah. That makes sense. I couldn't quite tell if he was a dwarf or if it was just perspective.

Kham's in the van, complaining that all the "smoothies" get all the publicity while a nice, handsome ork like him has to stay out of sight.  ;D

I hope they offer a special version with the original 1989 cover.

This is good, but I want the original.

Yes!  And it should have the old SR style too.

Cable connecting his smartgunlink to a datajack?

Yeah, remember in the old days you had to have induction pads in your hand and a cable running from the gun to a datajack in order to use a smartgun.

You had to have one of the other. You didn't have to have both. Cables were more common for a long time, but even in the 50s a lot was done with induction pads.

Cables just looked cooler.

And here i was thinking program carriers (or whatever they were called).

He had them, but they weren't that far up his arm I don't think. I'm thinking they were in his hand.

My impression was that the more common installation was on the back of the hands (kinda like spurs). But they still operated via the datajack, and with that being in the temple or nearby one need wires run.

Yeah, I think that was how it was.

The program carriers are on his left arm, and back in the SR1 image he does have some sort of cable-thing there, on his forearm.  Wish it showed his program carrier ports on the swanky new cover (since it shows that part of his handy very clearly, it would'a been nice to see 'em).  Ah well.  I've just got a soft spot for the old program carriers (when they got taken away was when I lost interest in decking, for the better part of 20 years).  ;)

I hope they included rules for Program Carriers...
