BloodNet, a dark cyberpunk adventure classic with RPG elements, in which vampires take Manhattan--and cyberspace!--and the stake of the game is your very soul, is available for Windows and Mac OS X on GOG.com, for only $5.99!

In 2094 the children of the night have a new playground, as far from the burning rays of sunlight as possible--the cyberspace. With the wired and wireless networks covering the whole of New York with a thick digital shroud, there's virtually no place out of their reach. The fact that you have fangs at the helms of the mega-corporations doesn't help either. It would seem that humanity is doomed. But this isn't the story of the human race's fall. It's a story of one person's struggle. When you wake up with two bite marks on your neck in the middle of vampire-ridden Manhattan, and you start to feel the HUNGER, there's very little time to save your soul. Just remember to install some humanity-boosters in your cyber-deck.

BloodNet is a remarkable game that brilliantly blends horror and cyberpunk in a mixture of adventure and RPG gameplay. You will explore the gritty locations of a high-tech futuristic city full of cyber-enhanced freaks, and tread the dangerous paths of the Cyberspace, that houses more demons than it did ever before. Build a team of deckers, cyberpunks, mercenaries, and rage gangers to help you in your desperate fight for your last threads of humanity. With a dark, memorable story, a haunting setting, graphics that aged surprisingly well, and hours of exciting and original gameplay, this classic title is a cyberpunk delight you cannot say no to.

Face some of mankind's greatest fears and enter the high-tech realm of BloodNet, for only $5.99 on GOG.com.
I don't know much about this game but it looks like an interesting unique RPG. I'll look into it some more and likely pick it up. I don't think I've disliked anything from Microprose yet.

Fever_Discordia: Sweeet!
Great to see Tommo bringing fresh Atari back catalogue titles and this is one of the ones I was most hoping would turn up too!
Says that it includes both floppy and CD versions - what's the difference? In case people prefer the sounds from floppy version?
Cheers!
The difference is this:

The CD version is all talkie but without any sort of written text for the parts where characters converse with each other.

The floppy version is basically the same thing but without the voice acting and it's all in text.

The weirdest thing of all is that you can't, not to my knowledge at least, have the talkie version with text so we figured it would best to include both versions for two reasons: 1) for those who are hard of hearing and need to have text and 2) because there's that ONE guy who asks about floppy versions of games :P

Stooner: Some videos on the CD version...
Yeah, I guess I was more wondering if / why anyone would prefer to play the floppy version, unless they hate videos for some weird reason....
Hell yeah, love this game.

F4LL0UT: Heh. Just a few days ago this was mentioned in a thread about games with vampires. Haven't ever played it, looks interesting, though.

Oh yeah, almost forgot to jump around like a maniac and yell "a release! a release! a classic release! a classic release!".
That was probably me.

Hate this, seems to be just like Silver...
yeah very unfortunate you can't have both speech and text.
Sweet, now that's a classic release.
Nice first release for 2014. Never played it but looks cool.
Instabuy.

One of the my "most wanted on GOG".
At first I was a bit "meh" by this release, but having both the floppy and CD-ROM versions is certainly a nice touch.

damien: Further to Fever Discordia's question, are these versions inferior or superior to AMIGA one? I had read somewhere AMIGA was the better one, I'll see if I can find the link
The Amiga version has different sounding music, I suppose some might say it sounds better than the CD-DOS version, but I don't, it is more clear in quality but the actual music sounds different and kinda like shitty trance music from what I remember.

That said, I believe BloodNet supported Roland MT-32, so if you can get that set up instead of the default midi, it would be better than them all.

I wonder who that would be :p
