My first introduction into the cyberpunk world !! In '88 when i had a real life connection into the C64 warez-scene, 14 year old me had never heard of things called cyberpunk, dystopia, ... This game opened up a whole new fantasy setting for me, and i was hooked !!

Unfortunately, I never played the game. I remember reading a review/guide for the game in an old copy of a C64 magazine. This was what got me interested in cyberpunk and later buying a copy of the book, as I could not get a copy of the game.

The YouTube channel Matt Chat has a Neuromancer episode with Becky Burger (one of the original programmers). She was not sure anyone would still want this game but would consider doing a remaster if anyone still cares about it. If you really want this, go to Matt Chat and comment. I'm sure Matt Barton will pass it along to her! I loved this game when it first came out and want to see it again!

I enjoyed reading Neuromancer, Burning Chrome and Mona Lisa Overdrive when they came out so it was fun playing Interplay's adaptation of the story. The inclusion of DEVO's "Some Things Never Change" was pretty cool, too.
I was introduced to the Cyberpunk genre in college in the mid 80's and was consumed by it all. I got this game as soon as it came out and started playing it on the Commodore 64 and was never able to finish it. I loved the Devo soundtrack and I used to put the game on just to play the soundtrack. I would love the chance to go back to this game and actually complete it. I loved being a hacker and trying to get into places in this game. I never did know anyone else that played this game.
Played this game on a friend's computer, and got obsessesed. So cool wielding a cyberdeck and fighting in cyberspace. When an enemy spouted a line at me from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (which I hadn't seen) and that line happened to include my first name, I actually freaked out for a moment! How does it know?! Never got to finish my run, though. Help me GOG, you're my only hope.
Till this day I remember the time I spent on this game on our C64. I read the book prior to this and fell in love with cyberpunk. And then this game came and I was in heaven when I saw the characters from it in the game. It was one of the few time periods I remember being in harmony with my older brother as we went thru the story together. And then the Easter-egg which we found thanks to the book... It's cool. Only thing "negative" is, that the Amiga version had much better graphics.

William Gibson, Devo and Timothy Leary what more can be said. Early Cyberpunk game. Be Case get your face out of your spaghetti hack BBS travel to orbitals, buy decks. Meet Wintermute.
Man I loved this one. As a C64 owner most of my games were more arcade-oriented, so when Interplay dropped something, you knew you were in for a treat. It expands the world of the book just enough so that you're playing a new story, but feels incredibly faithful. If you do get this one, it would be great to get William Gibson's comments about it.
Those games also need your vote!

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.

Silent Hill 3
Silent Hill 3Silent Hill 3 is the third installment in the Silent Hill series. Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments. The main character is able to side-step and block some attacks, but in general shares with the other protagonists of the series their relative ineptitude in combat.
