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.

kud13: ooh, very nice.

I've heard of this before, even found it on some abandonware sites, but never could configure it to run properly.

This is getting bought the day i get my next paycheck.

now, how about those 2 OTHER Vampire RPGs, eh, GOG?
We already have one :)

What's the maximum length that a review can be? I wrote one for BloodNet that's 3370 words long, but I can't submit it because it's too long.

E: The limit is maybe two paragraphs tops. It's pitiful. I'm posting the full review in the BloodNet specific forum.

E2: Nevermind, apparently the forum can't handle it. It just says "Please wait, processing..." and never moves.

That sounds like an interesting review. Maybe you can split it up across multiple posts?

JudasIscariot: 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
Wait WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!! but Indiana jones and the fate of atlantis is talkie and it also has text WTF were they thinking!

I don't feel so good!

Glad to be of service, man. :D *continues to headbang*
This is the most original game I have ever seen. Cyberpunk + Vampires? Pure genius. I'm ashamed I've never heard of this game until recently.

Yes they do!
I agree, VTM Bloodlines is numer one on my gog.com wishlist of releases.

Wondering if we'll ever see it here.

btw I find it really suprising that there arent more vampire themed games out there, it has such a huge potential.

Damn it would be glorious if CD Projekt made a game set in the World of Darkness. It would quite possibly be the best game ever made.

Here's to hoping that a right person will see this post, and the next big game after Cyberpunk (for which I cant wait, I'm holding off buying a new PC till the game is released - it'll be a must play) will be a vampire one.

Ahh, saliva is dripping from my mouth just by the mere thought of it.

Cool you got it published on the Codex!

You really tear the game apart, but all your points are quite valid.

I remember a time when I used to play games like this and blame myself for not understanding how it works or what to do. Now I realise a lot of these older games just made some poor design choices.
