Shadowrun (nintendo 1993)
While not necessarily retro, I'd add that the modernly available Shadowrun games are VERY good, although they're more cyberpunk fantasy than reaaaaally urban fantasy.
I guess urban fantasy is just whenever my dnd group wanders in to a town then. Hard to replicate in a game except maybe baldurs gate. There is probably a vampire mod.
This was the first thing I thought of as well. Before shadowrun, it had never even occurred to me that rpgs didn't have to be a high fantasy, medieval setting.
There’s also a Genesis one which is very different in play style. I remember it being a lot more open but requiring you to lead yourself a lot more. I prefer SNES but they’re probably both worth a look.
Also the Yahama sound chip in a Cyberpunk game was a great match.
